1.0 About Birds Queensland
Birds Queensland (BQ) is a voluntary Queensland-based organisation with a membership spread throughout the State but with the majority in the south east corner. We also have members in northern New South Wales, ACT, Victoria and Western Australia.
The aim of Birds Queensland is to promote the scientific study and conservation of birds by all means possible, with particular reference to the birds of Queensland. Birds Queensland is the registered trading name of the Queensland Ornithological Society Inc.
Our members come from many backgrounds and have widely differing levels of knowledge about birds. They share an interest in and enjoyment of birds and birding in a wide variety of activities. We have monthly meetings with guest speakers, as well monthly camps and fortnightly walks.
We offer advertising opportunities in our newsletter for you to promote your product, services or accommodation.
