The #AussieBirdCount is a great way to connect with the birds in your backyard no matter where your backyard happens to be — a suburban backyard, a local park, a patch of forest, down by the beach, or the main street of town.
You can count as many times as you like over the week, we just ask that each count is completed over a 20-minute period. The data collected assists BirdLife Australia in understanding more about the birds that live where people live.
For more information on how to take part, head to the Frequently Asked Questions page.
For your chance to win one of these incredible prizes, all you need to do is submit a count during the Aussie Backyard Bird Count. Good Luck!

Thirteen Ways to Look at Birds
Birds have fascinated poets for centuries, not just for their song and flight but as symbols: of hope, freedom, love, communication, peace, luck good and bad, and migration.
This album brings together six musicians, including our friend Paul Kelly, from broad-ranging backgrounds to interpret bird-inspired poems. It celebrates winged creatures including the barn owl, thornbill, falcon, magpie, and the swan, just to name a few — and we have five copies to give away!
