The third annual festival will feature bird surveys, exhibitions, poetry readings and a sculpture competition.
Bird watchers are invited to join a trip to Partridge Island in an amphibious boat to help survey the area's forty spotted pardalote colonies.
Photographers can join renowned nature snapper Chris Tzaros on a workshop and bus tour, while the Inala Nature Reserve will welcome bird lovers of all stripes to explore its newly opened Nature Museum and Jurassic Garden.
Or twitchers can pick up some tips on a guided walk around the Labillardiere Estate with swift parrot researcher Dejan Stojanovic.
A perfect warm-up for the inaugural Twitchathon: a 24-hour competitive bird-counting event happening across the island.
