Researchers from the University of Sydney are asking queensland scientists and bird watchers to record backyard brush turkey sightings through a new app

 

The call was launched by the University along with Taronga Convervation Society and Royal Botanic Garden Sydney in order to understand how the bird has adapted to urban development.

 

The app is also aimed at providing the community with way to interact with the bird watching and data collecting arenas and to participate in protecting the species, which gained legal protection in the 1970’s
