#gerconnect22 underway at the Brisbane Multicultural Centre

Thousands of hectares of bush may have been burnt in the Perth Hills fires, and it’s likely that important Carnaby’s habitat has been lost.

Join us in calling on the WA government to stop logging remaining feeding habitat north of Perth. Email your MP today!

We welcome these strong words today from NSW Environment Minister @Matt_KeanMP on the need for an environmental watchdog and strong environmental standards. We need national nature laws that actually protect nature.

@BelindaJones68 seems there's a bit of confusion between 'party' and 'government' at the moment

@johanne_martens @BirdlifeOz Congratulations and good luck!

Off to a good start this morning with four White-headed Pigeons, one of the many stupidly named but beautiful birds in this great country of ours #CuppawiththeBirds

[Birds in Backyards @UrbanBirdsOz]

Start the day right! Boil the kettle, grab a seat and enjoy a #CuppawiththeBirds. Take 10 mins out of your day - watch the birds in your garden and share who's there. Let’s get a communal #BirdingAtHome list together.

Tag a friend you'd love to share a #CuppawiththeBirds with

Amazing visuals and insights @BirdlifeOz

High-frequency GPS tracking is giving us a really detailed insight into the flight behaviour of the endangered Tasmanian #wedgetailedeagle. This video summarises one 40-minute flight of an adult eagle we are tracking in the northeast of #Tasmania. #WildOz @CellTrackTech

Deputy PM @M_McCormackMP says linking bushfires to climate change is 'woke capital-city greenies ravings'.Might come as a surprise to the local protestors outside his office or the local kids who joined the climate strike. #politicslive @amyremeikis https://t.co/KOnBlxQcbp

Pardalotes, people!

[Birds in Backyards @UrbanBirdsOz]

Don’t know a pardalote from a pigeon? That shouldn't stop you from doing a Birds in Backyards Spring survey! Our #birdata survey gives you a list of birds found in your local area (w pics) to get you started.

Environment laws have failed to tackle the extinction emergency. Here's the proof https://t.co/7RSFAzT2n6 https://t.co/3IkOWiW52b

@BennettBronwyn @MColvinMcKenzie Yeah he’s a bully

[Sarah Kim Pearson @sarahkimpearson]

Now the weather's warming up, who's in your backyard? Record your sightings in Birds in Backyards Spring Survey (Sep-Oct) - do it once, twice, or as many times as you like! https://t.co/3kjzr04RUp @UrbanBirdsOz @BirdlifeOz #UrbanBirds #CitizenScience

[Hugh Possingham @HugePossum]

Scientists will never know everything with complete certainty, but in many cases, like the issue of a declining Great Barrier Reef, we already know far more than enough to act now. https://t.co/MdqALU8gVw

[James Watson @cyclonewatson]

Across Victoria, and into South Australia and New South Wales, more than half of the native birds of the region have lost over 60 percent of their original natural habitat. Birds that were once common 20 years ago are now rare
