A woman has found 43 dead birds washed up on the Caloundra Beach, believed to have been killed in Bribie Island bushfires.
Leisl Born found a variety of species of burned birds among debris on the beach as she walked her dog last week.
A scheduled burn of bushland on Bribie Island jumped containment lines and had to be contained by the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services and the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, causing the evacuation of campers.
The bushfires, which burned for two days a few weeks ago, also took the lives of approximately 30 wallabies and kangaroos.
