The Aussie Bird Count is a project of BirdLife Australia. It is a citizen science project in which volunteers conduct bird counts around Australia.[1]
In the 2017 bird count, almost two million birds were counted.[2]
In 2022, the project was renamed to the Aussie Bird Count to reflect the ability to count in any outdoor space.
