Bird hide
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A bird hide is a camouflaged shelter used to observe wildlife, especially birds, at close quarters. Once built chiefly as a hunting aid, hides are now commonly found in parks and wetlands for the benefit of bird watchers, ornithologists and other non-interacting observers.
A typical bird hide resembles a garden shed, but has small openings cut in at least one side to enable observation.
Variant types of bird hide include:
- The tower hide, which has multiple storeys and allows observations over large areas
- The bird blind, which is a screen similar to one wall of a typical hide, with or without a roof for shelter
