From vibrant colors and enchanting displays to whirling songs and musical calls, Australia's fairywrens have long fascinated scientists and bird watchers alike. Years of research have revealed much about these intriguing creatures, but many questions still remain. The Fairywren Project seeks to bring these admirers together under one common goal to better understand some of Australia's most celebrated birds. By combining the knowledge obtained from past and current studies of individual populations with observations from citizen scientists across Australia, we hope to better understand how these species vary across their range and what this variation can tell us about why fairywrens are so diverse and how they might change in the future.
