Belongil Beach Byron bay Birds

Bird Buddies hope to turn on little terns. Little tern birds arriving in northern New South Wales from overseas this year will be greeted by a subtle message from local bird fanciers.

Plaster models of the little tern will be a feature on Byron Bay’s Belongil Beach this month, to encourage the real birds to breed. The little tern breeding season begins in the next few weeks. The birds have not bred at Belongil for 12 years. Sarah Harris, from Belongil Bird Buddies, is hoping the painted models will do the job.

“Yes, it gives them a sense that it’s okay and it’s safe… they’ve been used at other sites and they’ve been quite successful, so we’re hoping they’ll work for us to,” she said.
