Ornithology
Ornithology
is a branch of zoology that concerns the "methodological study and consequent knowledge of birds with all that relates to them". Several aspects of ornithology differ from related disciplines, due partly to the high visibility and the aesthetic appeal of birds.
The Bachelor's degree should take between 4-5 years, the Master's 2-3 years, and the PhD another 3-5 years (a Master's is not necessary for a PhD, however). The PhD requires more graduate level coursework and another thesis research project, along with oral and written examinations.
The three main types of ornithology study are collection, field-based research, and laboratory-based research.
From ancient times on, owls have been linked with death, evil, and other superstitions. Many cultures saw owls as a sign of impending death. For example, an owl was said to have predicted the death of Julius Caesar. They've also been associated with witches and other so-called evil beings.
