Our mission

At Friends of Birds, we're passionate bird enthusiasts on a mission to make a real difference for our feathered friends in the bustling metropolis of Melbourne. Picture us as the chirpy champions of avian advocacy, dedicated to raising awareness about the incredible birdlife that shares our urban and natural spaces. We're not just armchair activists – we're out there in the field, exploring, researching, and getting our hands dirty (sometimes literally!) to understand the challenges birds faced due to human activities like industrialization and urban sprawl.

But we're not stopping there. Armed with cameras, drones, and a whole lot of determination, we're capturing the changing landscapes and habitats of our avian pals, providing solid evidence of the impacts of human development. Every image of birds on this website is captured by our professional photographers and with our full passion.

Our goal? To not only document these changes but also to inspire action. We want to ignite a spark in our community, encouraging everyone to become stewards of the environment and champions for bird conservation.

Our vision? A city where skyscrapers and songbirds coexist harmoniously, where every rooftop and park is a haven for our avian neighbors. Join us on this flight towards a brighter, bird-friendly future for Melbourne!
