Welcome to BirdLife Australia!

As of 1 January 2012, BOCA has merged with Birds Australia to become BirdLife Australia. The new BirdLife Australia website will go live in early February, and until then the current BOCA site will continue to be available.

At BirdLife Australia we are dedicated to achieving outstanding conservation results for our native birds and their habitats. With our specialised knowledge and the commitment of an Australia-wide network of members, volunteers and supporters, we are creating a bright future for Australia’s birds. Look out for our new website from February 2012 at birdlife.org.au

Ask BOCA

This page allows you to ask BOCA bird-related questions (by using the Add Comment button below) and to browse our Frequently Asked Questions. We will endeavour to answer your question as soon as possible, but we cannot guarantee that we have the answer! We do NOT answer questions such as "Where can I see a xxxx?" - online forums such as BirdingAus and the various Birdlines are the best place to look for such information.

Comments and Further Questions

If you have comments about the FAQ system in general, or wish to ask a question, then please post it here. If you wish to comment on a specific question or answer then post under that question. Obviously we reserve the right to refuse to publish any comments that may not meet our standards, and we can take no responsibility for the accuracy of any posted comments and cannot guarantee we will answer any questions
