Ornithological telescopes allow bird-watchers to observe birds from a distance, so there is less risk of frightening them away. Since they require a tripod, they are generally heavier to carry than binoculars, but binoculars are more difficult to use since they are more difficult to hold still and steady for any length of time. Also, telescopes are capable of greater magnification than binoculars.
