The Bird Group (BG) is a Special Interest Group of the
Nature Society (Singapore) (NSS). The Group was inaugurated
in 1986 when NSS was the Singapore Branch of the Malayan Nature Society. However,
it was a transition from the former MNS Singapore Bird Study Group, which was
active in the '70s.
In 1991, the Nature Society (Singapore) emerged from MNS with the Bird
Group firmly established to oversee the claims of birds being recorded in Singapore and publish the records in the
'Singapore Avifauna'.
The Bird Group Conservation
Committee submitted a proposal plan to the Singapore Government in 1987, in
which Singapore's first bird sanctuary, Sungei Buloh Nature Park, was officially opened in 1991.
