One of the forms of cognitive tourism is the ornithological tourism, also called birdwatching. Poland has an enormous natural potential. Ornithological tourism is developing more and more dynamically, therefore it is crucial that it is properly understood and organized. The aim of this paper is to review information about ornithological tourism and to present the basic knowledge of avifauna in Poland. It is important that people involved in the ornithological tourism are already experienced in terms of knowledge and behavior, aware and responsible. Self-education and familiarity with the closest environment ( natural environment in the place of living) are substantial in the process of gaining knowledge. Installation of nest boxes, birdfeeders and tables with descriptions and drawings of birds in city parks and gardens can play an important role in the proces of environmental education. Apart from trails and educational paths, the infrastructure harmonious with natural landscape will be essential in open areas. It will enable observations for the tourists and at the same time it will protect the nature, i.e. birds. The elements of such infrastructure can be shelters, look-outs, walls and observation towers. The form of gaining knowledge and shaping attitudes which is interesting nowadays is participation in discussions on online forums, membership of associations and attending ornithological events. In case of protected areas, observation with the use of webcams should be considered.
