The most important principle of Bird watching Tours is silence and calmness. Those who turn to the entertainment need to have a proper concentration so they can observe beautiful birds and listen to their refreshing lilts in nature in silence and peace. This is why psychologist recommend the bird watching Tours to all those who wish to achieve calmness, mental relaxation, and improved concentration.The best season to watch birds in Iran are the spring and the fall in ponds. In fall, not only do migrating birds enter Iran, but their offspring hatched in the spring will have grown up by then and join their flocks.
