Great Aussie Bird Count

Next date: Monday, 20 October 2025 | 09:00 AM to Sunday, 26 October 2025 | 05:00 PM

Birds are everywhere! Our backyards, balconies, local parks, and schoolyards - they have powerful stories to tell about the health of our environment. Right now, 1 in 6 Australian bird species is at risk of extinction, making it more important than ever to tune in.

This October, we’re joining forces with BirdLife Australia for the Annual Aussie Bird Count.
