Birdwatching is the second fastest growing hobby for generation Z after jewellery making, according to a multiyear study of more than 24,000 people.
Almost 750,000 gen Zers (16 to 29-year-olds) in Britain regularly enjoy watching birds, a -1,088% increase since 2018, according to research by Fifty5Blue published by the RSPB.
Regular birdwatching has been embraced by all generations over the past eight years, with a 47% increase overall. Among millennials it has risen by 216% alongside a 66% increase in gen X birders.
GenZ: too poor to do anything or go anywhere… guess I’ll just stare out the window…
Media: woooow, GenZ really loves birdwatching
We watch the birds because they seem so free
We won’t have them for much longer, so…
This is why I like the sage in my garden, it has started flowering recently and now I can see bees. I should take a picture of them to show future generations what bees were.
