About Us
Our Long and Proud History
Named to honour the work of John and Elizabeth Gould, The Gould League of Bird Lovers (now Gould League) was formed in 1909. Originally set up to prevent bird egg collecting and to educate for the protection of Australian birds, the Gould League has made a significant impact on generations of Australians and their environmental attitudes.
