Birds Queensland's activities include conservation and research-oriented projects, educational activities, and activities which provide opportunities to meet with other people interested in birds and birding and to share experiences.
Current conservation activities are described in detail elsewhere, and provide opportunities for people to be involved in various activities directed towards monitoring and conservation of birds and understanding their habitat and other needs.
Birds Queensland provides displays at a range of conservation and related events, and members have opportunities to discuss issues relating to birds with visitors, and to promote Birds Queensland's conservation aims.
Our outings and camps provide great social opportunities, as well as a chance to share some birding skills, knowledge and experiences, while the monthly meetings deliver papers on current research and other relevant topics, as well a chance to chat over supper.
Activities include:
- monthly meetings with guest speakers held in Brisbane and occasionally in other centres,
- regular bird walks and outings held on weekends and mid-week, including Photogroup outings,
- camps held in a variety of natural and rural settings, inland waterways and lakes, grasslands, forests, national parks and sea-side locations,
- conservation activities, including regular surveys and counts, and collation of data,
- Easy Start, a beginner's introduction to birds and birding,
- bird identification courses at introductory and advanced levels,
- Twitches, a fun way to hone up your bird identification skills, and
- promotional activities, including the staffing the Birds Queensland displays at various events.
Behind the scenes, our management targets provide challenges and successes for members involved within our committee and
sub-committees. There's plenty of room for new members to become involved in the necessary administrative and communication sections of Birds Queensland.
So come along to one, or many, of our activities and share your interest in and enjoyment of birds and birding with fellow enthusiasts.
