What is bird banding?

Bird banding involves fitting bands with unique numbers onto the legs of wild birds. Once banded, the lives of individual birds can be tracked through time. We use this technique to determine how birds are using revegetated woodland habitat in South Australia.

Why is it important?

Each bird species has particular habitat requirements. If we want to help our birds, we need to know exactly what to plant, how to arrange the plantings, and at what scale we must reconstruct new habitat so it will best benefit species in need.

By allowing us to track the lives of individual birds of many species, long-term banding studies give us an idea of how long different birds live, whether they move around the landscape, and how they use the plants within that landscape.
