Collecting data
to protect Australia's birds

Birdata is the program that enables people right across the country to collect scientific data that help BirdLife understand and protect Australia’s birds.

Every time you share your bird surveys, our collective knowledge of birds and their habitat grows. Your data is used to achieve real conservation aims within BirdLife Australia, and by groups right across the country.

You can help.

Need help? Get in touch!

We are working hard behind the scenes to implement your recent feedback for Birdata, and are currently working on big changes to the app and web interfaces. We are also working to update the FAQs, range layers, and taxonomy that underpin Birdata.  
 

 

During this prolonged  period of change, if you need assistance or would like to provide feedback, please reach out – through the ‘Program Contact’ form via the button below, or by calling 03 9347 0757 (press 7).
