Help researchers understand bird calling behaviour and develop automated
recognisers by listening to bird vocalisations
Learn more


GET STARTED

We currently have five workflows where you will listen to and identify
vocalisations of the Peaceful dove, Magpie-lark, Golden whistler, Rufous
whistler, and Whistling kite. The audio was recorded from 6 sites along the east
coast of Australia.

WORDS FROM THE RESEARCHER

"Biologists have typically listened to audio manually when needing to analyse
species vocalisations in recordings, but with the rise of passive acoustic
monitoring this is no longer feasible. By classifying audio recordings, you will
become acquainted with an array of bird calls and help us develop automated
methods to monitor bird populations."

ABOUT BIRDSONG

Help researchers from James Cook University develop call recognisers to monitor
bird populations around Australia, including endangered and rare species such as
the southern subspecies of the Black-throated Finch Poephila cincta cincta!

Passive acoustic monitoring is an excellent tool that can be used to monitor
species using their vocalisations. However, with so much audio data being
collected researchers need an effective way to detect individual species within
the recordings. Call recognisers aid in species detection by automatically
identifying vocalisations in the audio but require lots of example vocalisations
to train. With your help we will develop call recognisers that can be used at
over 90 locations around Australia.
