Want to take part in a twitchathon? Keen to take on a physical challenge and support Australia’s native birds at the same time? Looking for a memorable way to mark a special birthday or anniversary? Or perhaps you want to celebrate the life of a special person.

Whatever the reason, Birds Australia would be privileged to have you raise money on our behalf.

The simplest way to fundraise for us is to set up a free, personalised fundraising page on the GoFundraise website.

It’s easy to create your own page, where your friends, colleagues and family can make secure donations online. Your donors can leave messages of support on your page, and everyone can see how you're progressing towards your fundraising target. Donors get a thank-you email and receipt, and the donation is transferred automatically to Birds Australia.

If you need any help setting up your page, please contact Birds Australia on (03) 9347 0757 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

And thank you – volunteering your time to fundraise on our behalf will help us to continue our work of protecting Australia’s birdlife and their habitats.
