Join the 2025 Hour of Garden Birds and Help Track Avian Populations

Hour of Garden Avians - Estimate Bird Population Count - "Bird Census Hour in the Garden" - Number of Garden Birds to Record

Hey there birdwatchers! Are you ready to lend a hand in conserving our fine-feathered friends? The Nature Conservation Union Germany (NABU) and the Bavarian Nature Conservation Association (LBV) are gearing up for the annual "Hour of Garden Birds" happening in early May, and they need your help. Keep your eyes peeled for blue tits, finches, robins, sparrows, and other common bird species in your garden, balcony, or park.

This enthusiastic soiree brings in the casual bird observer and the diehard twitcher alike, with the goal of gaining valuable insights into current bird populations. Your participating eyes could even catch a glimpse of the "Bird of the Year" 2025, the redstart, as it returns from its winter quarters and bustles about gardening for insects, according to LBV biologist Angelika Nelson.

Curious about how to partake in this five-star bird-watching event? Here's the lowdown:

  1. When: If you're eager to take part, keep an eye out for the official 2025 dates, which will likely be announced on both the NABU and LBV websites around late April.
  2. What to Do: During the designated hour, take a leisurely stroll in your garden, balcony, or nearby park and observe your avian guests.
  3. Birds to Count: Concentrate on common garden birds, such as blue tits, finches, robins, sparrows, and familiar species that catch your eye.
  4. How to Count: Record the highest number of a specific bird species you see at one time, not the cumulative total over the hour.
  5. Report Your Observations: Submit your bird counts online via the NABU or LBV websites. They'll be there with a user-friendly portal or app to make the process a breeze.
  6. Additional Tips:
  7. Equip yourself with binoculars or a bird identification guide for a closer look.
  8. Time your count for a dry, pleasant day to ensure clear visibility.
  9. Grab your family and friends to make the experience a fun and educational adventure.

By teaming up with other nature enthusiasts, you'll contribute valuable data that helps researchers monitor bird populations and aid conservation efforts. Stay connected with NABU's official channels as the date approaches for the most up-to-date news and instructions on the 2025 "Hour of Garden Birds."

  1. The Community policy should include provisions for environmental protection, specifically in regard to the conservation of avian populations, as demonstrated by the annual "Hour of Garden Birds."
  2. In the year 2025, the city of Berlin could benefit from increased environmental protection efforts, such as those seen in the "Hour of Garden Birds," to ensure the health and well-being of its local bird species and contribute to a more sustainable urban lifestyle.
  3. As part of a home-and-garden lifestyle, consider participating in the "Hour of Garden Birds" supplement and learn more about the different birds that inhabit your neighborhood.
  4. By 2025, the value of environmental protection in our communities could be further appreciated through events like the "Hour of Garden Birds," which fosters a greater connection between people and the environment.
