  Bimbimbie Ornithological Services is a distinctive enterprise dedicated to conveying, to the public at large, information about bird behaviour.

It is our desire that everyone who learns to appreciate the complexity of wild living birds will be motivated to help conserve our natural environment.

 
We offer a number of services that help to achieve this objective:
  • personalised guiding for bird walks on your property or farther afield — an opportunity to discover the secret lives of birds
  • a survey of bird life on your property. For property owners e.g. private residences, B&B's, wineries we carry out surveys of bird life on your property. The findings are presented in a variety of formats.
    If your property is part of your business this service can be valuable in stimulating more interest in it. Also a comprehensive bird list can be an asset when you seek to sell your property.
  • production of bird lists, self-guided checklists, walkers booklets and master booklets
  • bird behaviour notes that are researched from respected journals are designed to be used as ‘value added’ information for inclusion in environmental information brochures, school projects etc.
  • photographs of Australian bird species in postcard format. Stock photographs showing native species are available for purchase for various uses, e.g. school projects, university assignments, advertising brochures and environmental signs. Additionally selected photographs are available in postcard format.
  • editing services. This service is available for students, teachers, lecturers etc. We specialise in text focusing on biological data such as assignments, lecture notes or articles for publication. Score extra marks with work that is scrupulously fine tuned. Lessen your reader’s irritation with text that is error free. For free quotes phone or email via the contact page.
  • bird behaviour workshops and talks. Workshops and talks are designed for people interested in learning about how Australian birds live and work. Topics such as locomotion and flight styles, and plumage characteristics and its function are covered. Minimum number of participants is 10 and, depending on the topic/s, the duration of workshops or talks varies from 45 minutes to two hours. Field excursions may be arranged following the talks. Cost is by negotiation as some non-profit organisations will be eligible for complimentary talks. Phone or email via the contact page for further details.

These services have been inspired by the principles that frame the philosophy of ‘considered living’.
