About Aussie Backyard Bird Count

The Aussie Bird Count is a citizen science project running this year from 17 to 23 October, in which participants get outdoors and record bird numbers and species in their local area. This data recorded is used by Birdlife Australia to help build their ever growing bird database.

Birds play an important role in local Cumberland City, pollinating and dispersing seeds across the region.

Visit the Bird Life website and download the App to get involved in Australia’s largest bird counting event and help build a national database of birds found in the community.
