Welcome to BirdLife Australia's Citizen Science Portal

Supported By

This site is the Citizen Science Portal for BirdLife Australia, where you can contribute your observations of native birds to a number of the BirdLife Australia projects that are using this site.

Initially this site was developed to support the BirdLife Australia Carnaby's Black-Cockatoo Tracker project, and the people who were recording on the old site can still record their information here, where the data will help inform the broader BirdLife Australia Carnaby's Black-Cockatoo Recovery Project .

Since the project began, the team behind this site — from the Atlas of Living Australia — have been working with BirdLife Australia to add additional functionality and projects to this site. The various projects involved in the site will include nesting, roosting and general sighting forms that will enable community members to directly enter information into this online database and see their records build over time.

All the data being collected through this portal goes to the Birds Australia projects, and is also transmitted to the Atlas of Living Australia for broad dissemination across a wide range of interested researchers.

If you have sightings of other birds, you have several options;

• You can contribute to the BirdLife Australia Bird Atlas through Birdata
• You can also record specific data in the BirdLife Australia Shorebirds 2020 project database
• You can survey birds in your own backyard for BirdLife Australia's Birds in Backyards program.
