Victoria Bird Week

** check back early in the new year for the next date & location **

Rocky Point Bird Observatory's annual Victoria Bird Week each spring has lots of educational and engaging activities online and throughout the community.

About Victoria Bird Week

Victoria Bird Week started in 2021 as an online event encouraging people around Victoria and beyond to take part in a variety of activities to learn about the threats facing birds, and the importance of taking action against the loss of biodiversity. This week-long event takes place as spring bird migration is ramping up and the weather is warming, and it is a great way for people of all ages and backgrounds to learn more about RPBO and bird conservation. The week includes World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD), an international event with the aim to engage local communities to celebrate and conserve migratory bird species. Each year, approximately 200 cities in 40 countries host WMBD events. Rocky Point Bird Observatory, partnering with Victoria Natural History Society and others, has hosted a World Migratory Bird Day event each year since 2010.
