History

Originally published by the Bird Observers Club of Australia (BOCA), it was first named the Australian Bird Watcher, with the name changed in 2003. Following the merger between BOCA and Birds Australia at the beginning of 2012, it has continued to be published by the merged organisation. The founding editor-in-chief from 1959 to 1976 was Roy Percy Cooper. the editor is James Fitzsimons.[1] The journal moved to an online-only format in 2016.
