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.

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

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

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