Aussie Bird Count

You’re invited to join in Australia’s largest citizen science project Aussie Bird Count, happening 16-22 October. Use your observation skills for a 20-minute period to make a simple but important contribution to Birdlife Australia’s conservation initiatives. 

Each year people across the country head out to their front yards, backyards, courtyards, paddocks, parks and play areas to count how many birds they see to provide a snapshot of Australia’s more common bird species. It’s a fun, simple activity observing nature, which is proven to provide benefits to mental health and wellbeing.

Collecting this data at the same time each year allows us to look at the trends in our bird communities over time. Think of birds as a barometer for nature, as their health and wellbeing is one of nature’s best indicators.
