Major questions

  • Which wildlife  species (including birds) visit bird baths, especially in drought and how often?
  • Are the baths defended by aggressive species?
  • Are they a potential source of disease spread?

Species and habitats

  • Any wildlife visiting bird baths
  • Backyards

Tourism connection: mostly very little, but tourists can contribute to the database

Contact: Assoc-Profesaor Darryl Jones, Environmental Futures, Griffith University
