Every year, thousands of Australians participate in the Aussie Bird Count - a citizen science event that helps BirdLife Australia track changes in bird populations.
This year's count will be held from October 14 to 20, and everyone is encouraged to get involved.
The Aussie Bird Count is a great way to learn about the birds in your backyard or local area.
It's also a fun and easy way to contribute to valuable scientific research.
To participate, simply count the birds you see in your backyard or other outdoor space for 20 minutes.
You can submit your results online or by mail.
The Aussie Bird Count provides valuable data on bird populations across Australia.
This data helps BirdLife Australia track changes in bird populations over time and identify areas where birds are in need of conservation.
By getting involved in the Aussie Bird Count, you can help ensure that future generations can enjoy Australia's amazing birds.
