Held over National Bird Week from 14‒20 October, the Aussie Bird Count is one of Australia’s biggest citizen science events. Every year, tens of thousands of Australians of all ages and experiences join us in observing and counting the birds we live with. In 2023, over 60,500 participants counted a staggering 3,608,545 birds ‒ and you can help us make this year’s count our biggest yet!

Each count takes just 20 minutes and helps BirdLife Australia’s scientists track how our urban bird populations are faring – and just by counting, you’ll go into the running to win some incredible prizes!
