Get ready to join Australia’s biggest birdwatching and citizen science event this October. Whether you’re a seasoned birdwatcher or just starting out, this is your chance to connect with nature in a fun and easy way.
The Aussie Backyard Bird Count is one of Australia’s biggest citizen science events. This year is the eleventh count, and the organisers are hoping it will be the biggest yet. Join thousands of people around the country in exploring your backyard, local park or favourite outdoor space and help us learn more about the birds that live where people live.
Birdlife Australia’s Aussie Backyard Bird Count will run from 14‒20 October 2024 during National Bird Week.
The #AussieBirdCount is a great way to connect with the birds in your backyard no matter where your backyard happens to be — a suburban backyard, a local park, a patch of forest, down by the beach, or the main street of town.
How to get involved:
Just spend 20 minutes in your favourite outdoor space and report about the birds you see during that period. It’s a great activity to do with the kids. You can submit your results using the app or the web form. Every count helps.
You can count as many times as you like over the week. It is only requested that each count is completed over a 20-minute period. The data collected assists BirdLife Australia in understanding more about the birds that live where people live.
