The Flight of the Blue Wren : Australian native Birds and Climate Change

 “A Gould Centenary Project 1909-2009

The Flight of the Blue Wren is a Gould national community awareness project promoting the appreciation of common Australian native birds to children and highlight personal action to limit the impact  of climate change.

Gould was formed one hundred years with Australia’s Prime Minister Alfred Deakin as its first President. In its first campaign to protect Australia’s Birds, millions of Australian children in thousands of classrooms across the nation signed the famous Gould bird pledge. Gould is now turning to the internet to re-kindle the magic of Australian birdlife.

The Flight of the Blue Wren will deliver a series of beautiful drawings of Australian Birds including many from internationally recognised Australian bird artists.

These will be delivered weekly to subscribers to the Flight of the Blue Wren around the world and will be accompanied with a short description of the bird, where it lives and what to look out for when bird watching.

The series will also feature tips and hints on bird watching and how individuals can help protect bird habits by undertaking simple actions at school, home, or work to limit the impact of climate change.
