   Why the others are wrong.
   • Zoologist = one who studies animals in general *(प्राणि विज्ञानी)* — true but far too wide; birds are only one branch.
   • Botanist = one who studies plants *(वनस्पति विज्ञानी)*.
   • Ecologist = one who studies the relationship of organisms with their environment *(पारिस्थितिकी विज्ञानी)* — habitats are mentioned, but the subject here is the birds themselves.
   Word help.
   habitat = the natural home of an animal or plant *(प्राकृतिक आवास)*.
   expertise = special skill or knowl

Examples

• “The ornithologist spent months observing migratory birds.”
