First off, the identifying numbers on binoculars are important. 5 x 20, for example, means that the binoculars magnification power is 5 (things will appear 5 times closer), and the objective lens (the one farthest from your eyes) is 20 mm across.
For bird watching, a magnification power of 7-10 is suggested. That's close enough to be able to see the birds well, without the image seriously jostled by every little twitch of your hands.
An objective lens of between 35-50 is best - large enough to let in a good amount of light, without being so large as to wash out the colors on the birds. Also, the bigger the objective lens, the bigger the entire pair of binoculars. You have to decide for yourself what size you are most comfortable with.
I myself have a pair that is 10x50, and am very happy with them. My mom, however, has a pair that is 8x35, and they are much smaller and lighter, and you can bring things into focus with them that are closer than what my binoculars can handle. She likes them. So, if you are watching birds in your backyard, you may want to go for a smaller magnification power. If you're going to be hiking a lot, you may want to go with a smaller pair due to weight (or a more powerful pair so that you can get a good look at birds far away).
And while we're on the subject of hiking, if you plan on doing any they make "binocular harnesses" which spread the weight of your binoculars over both shoulders. Seriously, invest in them. They are a life-(neck)saver.
Nikon as one of the global leaders of precision optics, sells many types of binoculars. Whether you need binoculars for hunting, bird watching or one which can be used on a boat, they have it all.
Looking into a telescope or binoculars directly should be STRICTLY AVOIDED when watching the Sun. You would harm your eyes irreversibly. You can use either binoculars or a telescope to project an image on a sheet of paper or some other white object.
A telescope designed for two eyes is called "Binoculars".Binoculars are often used for spying, checking out the terrain (land), and watching wildlife from a distance.bi = 2oculars = eyestele = farscope = watch
No. There is no risk of damage your eyes from watching a lunar eclipse. It is during a solar eclipse that you require eye protection.
Sounds like bird-watching but I don't know if I would consider that a "sport".

You go somewhere, bring a pair of binoculars or something, and watch pigeons. Just stare at them, and go where ever pigeons are.
Usually because they believe a predator, you, is watching the nest and will attack them if they return. Stay...away...from...nests. Use binoculars.
its recommended, but no.
You want a bird watching guide to identify the birds you see. Secondly you want to bring binoculars and comfortable cloths for the weather so you can stay outside all day.
It is the closest object in space to us and is fascinating to observe with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope. As long as humans can remember they have been watching it.
If you could use Swarovski SLC 10x42 for bird watching then its more helpful for you.
