Better with Birds
Birdlife Australia and NatureFix have joined forces because we firmly believe that everyone has the right to access the benefits of nature and birds for both personal and planetary health.
Research has found that people enjoy having unexpected ‘non-human’ encounters, especially with birds and butterflies. Individuals feel happier in sites where there is a greater variety of birds, and in locations where everyday encounters with birdlife can occur. Research into birdsong and the diversity of song modality also suggests that birdsong diversity has an important restorative effect leading to significant improvements in mental health.
