Through the extensive range of resources available at Birds Australia, we are able to assist you no matter what your interest, whether it's bird conservation, bird research or simply just birds.

• The H.L. White Library, housed at Birds Australia's National Office in Melbourne, contains thousands of books relating to birds and other ecological topics which may be borrowed by members of Birds Australia.  There are also many ornithological journals and newsletters kept in the collection.
• Birds Australia maintains a number of useful databases which are essential for researchers conducting conservation or ecological studies.
• Because Birds Australia recognizes the importance of encouraging the conservationists and researchers of tomorrow, we facilitate two post-graduate student awards: the Stuart Leslie Bird Research Award and the Professor Allen Keast Research Award.
• Though the Paradise Parrot is the only bird to have become extinct on mainland Australia, many of Australia's birds are currently threatened. Our Threatened Bird List shows you what they are and what we're doing about it.
• Because so many children are interested in birds, or have to do school assignments, or are just full of questions, why not have a look at our education resources to help them find out more about our native birds?
• OWL (Ornithological Worldwide Literature) is a compilation of citations and abstracts from worldwide scientific literature that pertain to the science of ornithology. A major attraction is its coverage of the 'grey' literature, which are not abstracted by commercial databases such as Zoological Record or the Science Citation Index. OWL deals chiefly with serial publications such as periodicals but also announces new and renamed journals and provides abstracts of other serial publications, conference proceedings, reports, and doctoral dissertations. Eventually, the online database will go back 50 or more years to acquire citations to the serial literature. OWL will proceed well into this century with a database of the current worldwide literature that would be of interest to ornithologists.
