Cultural Tip
Birdwatching (avistamiento de aves) is a popular pastime in many Spanish‑speaking countries, from the wetlands of the Amazon to the coastal cliffs of Spain. While "pájaros" is the everyday word for birds, "aves" sounds a bit more formal or scientific. Using "relajante" conveys a gentle, soothing feeling, which fits well in casual conversation about nature.
