Superb City Wrens

Here at the Superb City Wrens project, we want to know how we can take better care of Fairy-wrens in our cities and towns. And we need your help!

We'd like you to explore your local area and tell us where you do, and don't, see fairy-wrens. This could be your local park, sports ovals, schools, even your backyard. By learning more about the places that Fairy-wrens like and don't like, we can learn how to create better places for these little bush birds in cities and towns.

If you're in the Parkville area of Melbourne, we have a special mission! We want to know which parts of Royal Park, Princes Park and Melbourne Cemetery are being used by Superb Fairy-wrens so that we can guide some upcoming restoration works by the City of Melbourne. We'll then compare fairy-wren sightings before and after and see if we were able to improve things for this iconic little blue bird. More updates on that part of the project soon!

Sightings from everywhere and anywhere are very welcome – they all help us learn more about these superb little critters.

We are especially interested in Superb Fairy-wrens, but if you see other things please let us know in the form.

The “Superb City Wrens” project is a partnership between the City of Melbourne, BirdLife Australia, The University of Melbourne and RMIT University.
