Birdwatchers contribute an immense amount of data to citizen science databases. Thus, birding is important from the leisure perspective and from nature conservation. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we studied birdwatchers on a global scale in over 50 countries by applying the model of behavior change, which focuses on changes in opportunity (spatial, temporal), motivation, and capability (avoidance behavior). The sample consisted of 5051 participants (3437 men, 1575 women, mean age 49 years). Birders changed their spatial behavior to more local birding and to avoidance behavior by choosing different places and different clock times. Concerning motivation, being outdoors showed the highest increase and being with friends the strongest decrease. Higher specialized birders experienced a stronger shift toward regional birding. Birders that focused on new, local, or unrewarding places experienced an increase in motivation. Our study empirically supports the behavior change model and highlights the need to address the heterogeneity of the recreationists.
观鸟者为公民科学数据库贡献了大量数据。因此，观鸟从休闲角度和自然保护角度来看都很重要。在新冠疫情期间，我们通过应用行为改变模型，在全球50多个国家对观鸟者进行了研究，该模型侧重于机会（空间、时间）、动机和能力（回避行为）的变化。样本包括5051名参与者（3437名男性，1575名女性，平均年龄49岁）。观鸟者通过选择不同的地点和不同的时钟时间，改变了他们的空间行为，转向更多的本地观鸟和回避行为。在动机方面，户外活动的动机增加最多，与朋友一起的动机下降最为明显。专业化程度较高的观鸟者向区域观鸟的转变更为强烈。关注新的、本地的或无回报地点的观鸟者动机有所增加。我们的研究从实证上支持了行为改变模型，并强调了应对休闲者异质性的必要性。
