BirdLife Australia is dedicated to creating a bright future for Australia’s birds.
"Our mission is to make a real and positive difference for Australia's birds using our experience and specialised knowledge combined with our ability to unite and inspire the conservation community."
​
"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 WildlifeLink 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.
