Even in the densest thickets, light and beauty will always find their way through.

When it all feels hopeless and overwhelming… I go birding.

Back on my ornitherapy game.
My outstretched hand against the background of a snowy forest trail. There is a pile of birdseed in the middle of my palm, and a male cardinal perched on the end of my fingers, enjoying a sunflower seed.

Got this book by @hollymerker.bsky.social et al. as a gift. Authors make the point that birding and nature delight may occur almost anyplace on Earth. That's one thing I love about loving #birds. #birding #nature #naturewriting #books
The book is called Ornitherapy and features primarily the outline of a Kingfisher bird against a sunset near a lighthouse.

Now you know why I’m a birder. Some people call it ornitherapy.

Went to look at the birds to reset my mental health, a little ornitherapy of you will. Really glad to have found birding as a hobby, enjoying photography as well. I think I'm better at spotting birds than I am taking pictures of them, but hoping to change that.

Absolutely! In the birding world, we call it ornitherapy.

From ornitherapy to kissing trees, how can nature benefit human health?

A new book released in France explores how ornitherapy and sylvotherapy – linked to the birds and the trees – can have a positive effect on human health and wellbeing, with some doctors in the UK and the US even prescribing them to patients.
