Description
BirdLife Australia has created the Aussie Backyard Bird Count app for you to take part in Australia’s first nationwide bird survey. For one week each year near the end of October, as part of National Bird Week, join thousands of people as they get to know their local birds and help us discover how our birds are getting on. It only takes 20 minutes in your backyard, neighbourhood park, or favourite green patch to be a part of this exciting event.
All you have to do is sign-up with your name and email address, select your location on the map, and start counting. If you need help identifying birds, use the handy built-in Field Guide. While there are around 800 species of birds in Australia, the Field Guide holds just under 400 species. Try to be as general as possible when searching or typing in bird names to get the best results.
Don’t go away when the Bird Count has finished. You can use the Field Guide year round to learn more about your feathered friends.

Ratings and Reviews
Great App
A bit more tweaking for next year as suggested by others. Bird call Id, keeping list for next day, being able to review & correct later when find have misidentified a bird especially if your a novice. Otherwise was a great improvement, gets better each year. Love doing it & helps our birds.
Fred at Breakfast Point
Warning: The bird identifier is next to useless. It can lead to extreme frustration.
Even if you know what bird you a looking at working what selection of size shape and colours will produce a short list which includes the bird you are looking. I have more success asking questions on google. How is the colour a selection meant to work? It had never been any help to me. Surely being able to use the local habit would help. If I have seen a wading bird by the river with some black markings it’s unlikely to be a parrot. Right now I am staring at a cormorant type diving bird. It’s shape is not included in the selection. I cannot find any input that will output any of such birds I see on the river.
Another beef: why give the sometimes long list of possibilities alphabetically, surely by likelihood or some other criteria would be better. Good to that now the totally improbable possibilities are flagged.
Amazing works great
Look, this is an amazing app and I only have an Aussie reptiles, and an Aussie mammals field guide so I was looking if there was any decent bird guides on the AppStore so I didn’t have to pay much or any money at all for an actual field guide. Surely enough there was, this. So far I haven’t done the ‘game’ but the field guide works great and that’s the main or, really only reason I have it.
