Birds identified using DNA

The DNA project funded by the ATSB has been finalised. A copy of the findings (791kb) of the trial undertaken jointly by the Australian Museum and Museum Victoria is available to download.

Aerodromes can still use the DNA sampling kits (for a fee) from the Australian Museum to help identify birds.

For further detail contact the project manager Dr Rebecca Johnson at the Museum on 02 9320 6454 or by email at rebeccaj@austmus.gov.au.
