By joining the biggest community of bird lovers in Australia, you can help us make a positive impact on the future of our native birdlife. The members of BirdLife Australia, along with our supporters and partners, have been powerful advocates for native birds and the conservation of their habitats since 1901.

We are also the meeting ground for everyone with an interest in birds from the curious backyard observer to the dedicated research scientist. It doesn’t matter what your interest in birds is or how much you know about them, your membership will offer you the opportunity to increase your awareness and enjoyment.

Birdlife Australia would be delighted to welcome you as a new member and we look forward to sharing our news and achievements with you throughout the coming year.

Bird Search

Although birds are usually quite easy to see, often they are more difficult to identify. You may have had the briefest glimpse or heard a snatch of its song, or perhaps it was a bird you have never seen before. The best place to look for it is here.

You will discover the remarkable variety of birds that occur across Australia. With stunning images of featured species and some recordings of their songs and calls, you are sure to find that mystery bird, or learn more about species you already know.

Branches

BirdLife Australia has branches throughout Australia to share local interest and awareness. Our branches provide the perfect platform for communities to participate in BirdLife Australia's bevy of activities, events and projects, many of which include vital bird conservation work on a local, regional or national scale.

Special Interest Groups

Some birds face particular problems that demand a focus on their specific needs. BirdLife Australia utilises the skills of our Special Interest Groups to conduct and coordinate studies and projects on selected groups of birds – Raptors, Seabirds, and Waders. Much of their work has global significance. Join one of our Special Interest Groups to extend and enrich your interest in birds and our natural environment.
