I got them for concerts and shows and they have been great for that purpose. I can even see the color of the performers eyes.

I think so, not too big like regular size binoculars. I think they would be strong enough for bird watching, thats my personal opinion!

I think they would be okay for bird watching if you have not been using a higher quality set of binocs before. For me, the Tasco's are great for that once in a while need, but not for watching over a stretch. The eye strain starts setting in after a minute or so.

They are good for birds. The really good thing about them is that with these lenses, at dusk I can see details even fairly close (25') that I can't see with the naked eye. The lenses gather so much light that you can view objects in dimmer light than my previous binoculars or the naked eye. I purchased these binoculars to watch owls at dusk, and found I can watch the owls for 10-15 minutes longer, with clarity, than I could with other binoculars.

These are excellent for bird watching as they have have a strong 10X magnification and fast central focusing. The only negative might be that they are a bit heavy at just under 2 pounds.

I haven't had a lot of experience deer hunting, but they are great for bird watching. Detail is pretty good.

Absolutely, I went to Alaska and was able to see Bald Eagle's on the tops of poles and see grizzly bears in the wild. Love the binoculars.

Hi Gordon, as long as your binoculars have thin (3/8 maybe 1/2 inch) straps then these will work great. We use ours for hiking with DSLR cameras and love them. no swinging while walking and no problem taking a picture straight up will the straps on. Quick release on each side makes for easy on and off. Only thing which is no problem to us is the little piece stays on the camera all the time. If you are looking to walk around hands free with your binocs this is exactly what you want. Also none of that strain on your neck after a long day hiking.Hope this helps, have a great dayGary

Well, I am not a birdwatcher, Thelma, but I would think they would be great... lightweight, and the fact that they are instantly and automatically in focus would enable you to catch that glimpse before the bird flies away.

I am not a avid bird watcher but when I used them in Montana recently (first time) I was picking up birds in pine trees across a meadow -- So I have not been able to use as much as I have wanted

Great for birdwatchers, lightweight, compact. Purchased the special harness from Amazon which takes weight off neck.My wife loves these binoculars.

Yes, my son uses them to bird watch and they help see the birds in more detail.

Yes, they're excellent binoculars. Not as large as ones used for bird watching, but bigger than small "opera" glasses.

I wish I could help you. I use these for navigation on the Tennessee River. Though they are pretty good for watching eagles and ospreys and herons. I don't see any reason these wouldn't be good for watching other birds as long as only one person is the main user.

Probably... I got them for my wife to watch birds. They are light to carry & bright to look through. She likes 'em. If you are new to binoculars, yes you will like 'em and they will serve you well. If you are familiar with full sized ones (i.e. boat anchors that require a mono/tripod to use - you will be disappointed. But for a general set of small, light and powerful - they are a good choice.

Yes. I do a lot of bird watching and these are the best I've ever owned. The image is very sharp and bright. I went on a trip to Costa Rica, and even the tour guide, who is a professional bird watcher, was impressed with them.

They are very good for star gazing and bird watching by helping to eliminate the natural tremor in our bodies. They will not, however, eliminate wave action from water

Yes I use the scope for watching wild life also birds in the Sequim Wa. area.
