Birds are all around us, in our gardens, parks, balconies and schoolyards. They can tell us a lot about the health of our environment. With one in six Australian bird species at risk of extinction, understanding and protecting our local birdlife is more important than ever.

From 19–25 October, we’re partnering with BirdLife Australia to celebrate Aussie Bird Count Week and invite the Kingston community to get involved in this nationwide citizen science initiative.

Taking part is simple:

  1. Visit aussiebirdcount.org.au and download the Aussie Bird Count app
  2. Spend 20 minutes observing and recording birds
  3. Submit your sightings through the app

Guided bird discovery walk

To celebrate Aussie Bird Count Week, we’re hosting a guided bird discovery walk in Kingston! Come along to explore our local environment, learn how to identify some of the birds that call the area home, and discover more about the role they play in our ecosystems. Whether you’re an experienced birdwatcher or simply curious about the wildlife around you, everyone is welcome.

Join us to connect with nature, discover local birdlife and be part of something bigger.
