BirdLife Australia has launched the Aussie Backyard Bird Count app, which allows users to participate in Australia's first nationwide bird survey. This event takes place for one week each year in October, coinciding with National Bird Week. By spending just minutes in their backyard, local park, or favorite green area, participants can contribute to the survey and help monitor the well-being of Australia's bird population. To take part, users simply need to sign up with their name and email address, select their location on the map, and start counting the birds they observe. The app also includes a built-in Field Guide to assist with bird identification. While there are approximately bird species in Australia, the Field Guide contains information on nearly species. Users are encouraged to use general terms when searching or typing in bird names for the best results. Even after the Bird Count event has ended, users can continue to utilize the Field Guide throughout the year to learn more about the various bird species in their area. For more detailed information and answers to frequently asked questions, users can visit the BirdLife Australia website. Additionally, those interested in supporting BirdLife Australia and getting involved in their conservation efforts can find more information on the website. The Aussie Backyard Bird Count app was developed by Planticle.
