13.01.2022 Koalas are cryptic creatures hard to see. Human eyes are programmed to spot movement, and most of us are active in the daytime while koalas mostly move around ...at night. They can live quietly beside us the whole time, watch us go past many times and not be sighted by anyone. If you live in an area that was once koala habitat, but no koala has been seen there recently, don’t stop trying. They might be gone, but they might not. Of course, it is possible that they have moved away or died - especially if current levels of habitat destruction continue, but they might have just frozen or hidden behind a leafy branch. Keep your eyes up! https://buff.ly/3b2MsOE

12.01.2022 Tell us what is happening in your garden this Autumn! The start of another season means its time for another Birds in Backyards seasonal survey period! This Mar...ch and April do a 20 min bird count alongside a bit of info about your garden and give us valuable insight into our urban birds. Our Birds in Backyards team has lots of information to help you out if you are just starting out! You can even join us for a free webinar on Wednesday the 10th of March at 7pm (AEDT). Register via the Autumn survey link here: https://www.birdsinbackyards.net//artic/Autumn-survey-time Don't know the names of all the birds? Don't worry - the Birdata platform includes a list of birds (with pictures) that you are likely to see in your area Only got super common or 'boring' birds - that's what we need to know! Boring is helpful too! We use the data you submit in a number of ways - from research projects, to education materials and this year data will even be used in the very first Urban Bird Index in Australia. A simple survey is so incredibly valuable.

07.01.2022 Have you ever heard the calls of koalas? Watch the video and pay attention. They are loud pig-like grunting snores, mostly uttered by males - intended to attrac...t females. In breeding season, male koalas advertise their presence and fitness to females by singing loudly in a deep baritone, which travels kilometres through the gum-trees. Males also vocalise to avoid conflicts with other males; those calls give other males information on the whereabouts of the caller, his size and fitness. They don’t want to fight, certainly not against males who might hurt them, so they listen to the calls, respond, and avoid bumping into each other.
