Aims (new version):	Aims (old version):
Birds (ISSN 2673-6004) is an international, peer-reviewed, and open access ornithological journal. It publishes original ornithological research articles, reviews, and communications that offer substantial new insight into any field of study that involves wild birds, with special emphasis on bird ecology, communities, conservation, and behavioral ecology. Multidisciplinary papers related to birds will be considered. Manuscripts reporting novel behavioral observations might be considered as Brief Reports or Communications. There is no restriction on the maximum length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their theoretical, basic, applied, and experimental research in Birds.
