Mumbai Birdwatchers Club is an informal community platform to bring back the charm and fun of birding together. It aims to strengthen the birding community in Mumbai and create enjoyable opportunities for new and experienced birders to explore local habitats, learn from one another, and appreciate the city’s wild spaces.

MBC birdwalks are arranged voluntarily by birders, and are free for anyone to join. Walks are coordinated by experienced local birders only for smooth communication, not as leaders or authorities …. By birders, for birders — to bird together.
