Bird Friendly Backyards

Creating a bird friendly backyard is one way to help to contribute to biodiversity conservation in our community. To find out more about Australian birds and their habitat consider joining the Birds in Backyards program.


Birds in Backyards is a research, education and conservation program focusing on birds and the urban environment. This innovative program was developed by the Australian Museum and Birds Australia.

The Birds in Backyards website provides information about identifying birds, participating in surveys and research, creating bird-friendly spaces in your backyard and about upcoming events such as talks, study programs, presentations, open days and tours.
