Nature Observation and Husbandry Hobbies

Hobbies built around observing, feeding or keeping living things, an activity-participant hobby in Stebbins' typology pursued for its own steady engagement rather than competition. Belongs here: birdwatching, bird feeding, beekeeping, aquascaping, fishkeeping and gardening. Does not belong here: astronomy and other hobbies that observe non-living natural phenomena, grouped under Astronomy and Amateur Investigation Hobbies, or any of these subjects treated as a farmed or wild-species discipline in its own right, which belongs to Agriculture or Nature under this atlas's own seam rule (ruling 631): Home owns the domestic hobby of keeping and observing, not the species as a subject of study.
