Aussie Backyard Bird Count in National Bird Week 17-23 October

You can celebrate National Bird Week by getting involved in the Aussie Backyard Bird Count. All you need is 20 minutes, your favourite outdoor space, and some keen eyesight.

Simply record the birds you see on the Aussie Bird Count app or through the Submit a Count on the website. You’ll instantly see live statistics on the number of people taking part and the number of birds and species counted in your neighbourhood and the whole of Australia.

Not only will you get to know your feathered neighbours, but you’ll be contributing to a vital pool of information from across the nation that will help us see how Australian birds are faring.

You can complete as many counts as you like over the week – so get your friends and family together, head into the great outdoors or your backyard and start counting!
