Other important bird resources:

​

New Zealand Birds Online is a searchable encyclopaedia of New Zealand birds. You can find detailed information about all 457 species of New Zealand birds, including all living, extinct, fossil, vagrant and introduced bird species. The database is searchable by name, conservation status, and geographical distribution. Explore the site to read expert-written texts, listen to sound files of bird calls, and browse the many photographs. New Zealand Birds Online is a joint project between Te Papa, OSNZ and DOC.

​

eBird is an online bird recording tool to help us understand and document bird occurrence across the landscape: any bird, anywhere, any time. For this reason, every bird-watcher has something to contribute, every time they go birding in New Zealand, both on land and at sea.

​

BirdingNZ.net is a discussion forum that is free and easy to join, allowing anyone with an interest in NZ birds – resident scientists, international twitchers, or those just looking for help with a bird ID – to find and share information. A key goal of the site is to allow people to quickly and easily distribute details about rare bird observations, so others may also have a chance to see something special.

​

Notornis is Birds NZ's quarterly scientific journal. This peer-reviewed journal has been publishing ornithological research relevant to New Zealand and the South Pacific since 1943 (originally as New Zealand Bird Notes). Notornis has a wide circulation within New Zealand and overseas, and is provided to all members of Birds New Zealand. PDFs for each volume will be made available online as close as practicable to the standard publication dates (last day in March, June, September, December). 

​

Birds New Zealand (formerly Southern Birds) is Birds NZ's quarterly news magazine. This magazine provides a forum for members to report back on trips, society schemes, interesting bird sightings and to advertise coming trips, meetings and events.
