SUMMARY:Aussie Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:Join Australia’s largest citizen science project during the Aussie Bird Count this October 2026. Local families can explore neighbourhood parks or their own backyards to spend 20 minutes spotting wild birds\, helping collect vital conservation data while connecting with nature and entering the draw to win fantastic prizes. \nAussie Bird Count 2026\nThe Aussie Bird Count is Australia’s largest citizen science project\, inviting people of all ages to head outdoors and discover the amazing birdlife in their own backyards\, balconies\, parks and schoolyards. \nOrganised by BirdLife Australia\, the annual count runs during National Bird Week and helps build a national snapshot of how Australia’s birds are faring. Birds have amazing stories to tell about the health of the environment\, and right now\, one in six Australian birds faces the threat of extinction\, making it more important than ever to pay attention. \nThe Aussie Bird Count will return from 19–25 October 2026. In just 20 minutes\, anyone can help build a picture of how the country’s feathered friends are faring and contribute to something that really counts. \nIt’s a fun and easy way for families\, schools and communities to connect with nature while contributing to real science. \nIn 2025\, tens of thousands of people across the country stepped outside to watch\, count and celebrate Australia’s amazing birds\, helping BirdLife Australia take a national snapshot of the birds we share our backyards\, parks\, schools and skies with. Check out the results here. Surprising no one\, the magpie was the most spotted bird! \nTaking part is simple: \n\nSpend about 20 minutes in your chosen outdoor space\, whether it’s your backyard\, local park\, schoolyard\, national park\, or beach.\nRecord the birds you see using the free Aussie Bird Count app or the online form. The app includes a handy field guide to help identify species.\nSubmit your results and be part of this nationwide effort.\nWhether you’re a seasoned birdwatcher or a first-time spotter\, every count makes a difference. Gather the kids\, grab your binoculars (or just your keen eyes)\, and join thousands of Australians in celebrating and protecting our incredible birdlife.\n\nAussie Bird Count 2026 event details\nWhen: Monday 19th – Sunday 25th October \nWhere: your own backyards\, local parks\, and local green spaces. \nMore information and Registration here
