Birdata is the way we collaboratively and scientifically collect data to gain insight 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.
