"Birdata is the way we collaboratively and scientifically collect data to gain insight and protect Australia's birds"

​

The Birdata site is Birdlife Australia's portal that allows electronic input into the different Birdlife Australia information gathering activities.

​

The Foundation, through successive grants, funded the original Birdata website (2004-2006) to facilitate for the first time the input of data via a computer, and later the Birdata App (2014) to allow input from tablet devices.

​

The Birdata site hosts the Bird Atlas.  The over 20,000 bird watchers from all over Australia input sighting data via the Birdata site or App to build up a comprehensive scientific analysis of the distribution of bird species by location and time throughout Australia.

​

It is an invaluable scientific resource that involves the whole birding community and is available to all researchers.
