GBBC is a four-day annual event aimed primarily at contributing to global data on bird database, but it also makes people aware of the birds around them and helps them understand bird behavior by observing them. It is a great opportunity to learn and at the same time contribute important data. Basically, the number of individuals of different species of birds seen or heard are counted and recorded at uniform time intervals and these checklists are uploaded onto the global platform ebird. This comes up with a proper account of bird diversity across the world. The GBBC is the time of the year, every bird enthusiast waits for, due to it being peak migration time, and it is an immensely fun event!
