The Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union (RAOU) is like a big club for people who love birds! They study and protect birds in different countries such as Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.
The RAOUs members are very smart people who know a lot about different kinds of birds, like their diet, where they live, how they behave and even how they sound.
They go on special trips to find out more about birds and make sure they are safe and not in danger. They also share what they learn, so that everyone can learn how to make the world a better place for our feathered friends.
So, the RAOUs mission is to help people care for birds and respect their natural habitats, so that birds can continue to live and thrive in the world.
