This might be a double definition.

'bird for' is the first definition.
'hobby' can be an answer for 'bird' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'for' bit.

'birdwatching say?' is the second definition.
(I know that birdwatching is a hobby)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hobby that I've seen before include "Bird of prey - pastime" , "Favourite pastime" , "interest" , "pursuit of birdwatcher?" , "Raptor - pastime" .)
