AUSSIE BACKYARD BIRD COUNT 

The Aussie Bird Count app allows you to take part anywhere - not just backyards, but in local parks, botanical gardens, schoolyards or beaches - wherever you might see birds.

You can participate by yourself or in a group

Spend 20 minutes in your backyard, local park, or favourite outdoor space

Not sure about a bird? There is a field guide/bird search function on the app and website to help you

Once you’ve added your count, you will instantly be able to see live statistics from right around Australia – including the number of people taking part and the species counted!

The national total will be updated in real time, and the app allows you to see which species are being counted in your local area.

For events and activities during National Bird Week visit aussiebirdcount.org.au.
