The Aussie Bird Count is a project of BirdLife Australia. It is a citizen science project in which volunteers conduct bird counts around Australia.
In the 2017 bird count, almost two million birds were counted.
In 2022, the project was renamed to the Aussie Bird Count to reflect the ability to count in any outdoor space.
