The Bird Group is a Special Interest Group of Nature Society Singapore (NSS).
Inaugurated in 1986 when Nature Society Singapore (NSS) was the Singapore Branch of Malayan Nature Society (MNS).
Our history goes further back to former MNS Singapore Bird Study Group which was active in the 1970s.
NSS emerged from MNS with the Bird Group established to oversee the claims of birds recorded in Singapore, publish the records in the ‘Singapore Avifauna’ and subsequently our blog, as well as update the Bird Checklist.
We conduct regular bird walks at our nature areas, and bird talks covering various aspects of ornithology to promote the appreciation of birds. We also conduct bird surveys, as well as raptor and parrot counts, to keep tabs on the status of our avifauna.
With NSS being the country partner for eBird, the Bird Group also works to review rare and unusual submissions of birds on the free citizen science platform in an effort to make the entries usable for science.
We organise a wide range of events open to members and public, from educational talks to birdwatching activities. Look out for our upcoming events!
