Flying Storyteller & Bird Nerd Adventurer
Zoologist turned pilot, Amellia Formby, is preparing to fly a microlight around Australia in 2021 to raise some serious awareness for migratory shorebirds – the world’s most endangered group of bird species.
Along the way, she’ll visit schools along the coast and introduce students to migratory shorebirds through a creative community project called The Flock Oz for BirdLife Australia.

The Flock Oz is a fun, community project that uses social media to connect communities living in the East Asian-Australasian Flyway through migratory shorebirds and builds support for their protection.
Everyone can get involved by cutting out, painting or hosting a shorebird gathering.
