LYFER LIVE is making its debut at The Finders Keepers Melbourne Design Market next weekend.

We’ll be at the Royal Exhibition Building from 10–12 July 2026, taking LYFER into one of Melbourne’s biggest design market spaces.

For us, LYFER LIVE is about more than taking our store on the road. It is about bringing birdwatching into more public spaces, giving it visibility, and helping more people notice the birds around them.

Because birds deserve to be seen. And so does the community growing around them.

We’ll have new products, market offers, giveaways, competitions and plenty to explore across the weekend.

If you’re in Melbourne, or visiting next weekend, we’d love you to come and say hello. And if you’re following from elsewhere, we’ll bring you along from here.

Royal Exhibition Building, Carlton / Narrm

The Orange-bellied Parrot Endangered Tee is landing soon.

Still available at a special price on pre-order, this tee is part of our LYFER Endangered Range, created to raise awareness of critically endangered birds while helping direct funds back into conservation.

This one is for the Orange-bellied Parrot.

Made in Lima, Peru by the same makers behind our original LYFER tees. We know that is a long way from here, and it is something we considered carefully.

For this range, quality and durability had to be part of the story. Not a quick print. Not a throwaway tee. Something made with care, designed to be worn again and again, and to keep carrying the story of one of Australia’s most critically endangered birds.

Made from beautiful Peruvian cotton, printed with vibrant water-based inks, and finished with our signature LYFER birdmark embroidery on the left shoulder.

10% from each sale goes into the LYFER Endangered Bird Fund. Each quarter, funds from selected products are directed to a conservation partner connected to the featured bird. For the OBP, that partner is Zoos Victoria.

Pre-order is still open for $90 with free shipping, saving $10.

***And to everyone already waiting on theirs, thank you for jumping in early. Delivery from Lima is arriving very soon, and we’ll share an update as soon as the tees are in hand.***

’s all about the birds.

Weighing around 40g, the Orange-bellied Parrot (OBP) is special and just one of only two migratory parrot species in the world.

The OBP is critically endangered, and an important story for us to share. So we decided to go a step further by choosing the OBP as the inspiration for our new tee & socks as part of the LYFER Endangered Range!

10% of sales are donated to Zoos Victoria for their OBP Breeding Program.

Birds are receiving more attention right now, not always for the reasons we would hope.

H5 bird flu has recently been detected in Australia, with confirmed cases in migratory seabirds. It is a reminder that birds are often more vulnerable than many people realise, and moments like this bring that reality into our conversation.

But this attention can also become care. The more we notice birds, the more we understand their place in our ecosystems, our landscapes, and our own lives.

If you see multiple sick or dead birds or other wildlife, please do not touch them. Keep your distance, record the location, and report it to the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888.

The Wandering Albatross has the greatest wingspan of any living bird, measuring almost 3.5m from tip to tip!

Built for distance, these extraordinary birds spend much of their lives at sea, gliding over oceans and travelling vast distances in search of food.

But this is a vulnerable species of bird.

Albatrosses face serious threats from fisheries bycatch, invasive species on breeding islands, pollution, disease and climate change. This year, the theme for World Albatross Day is Habitat Restoration, a reminder that protecting birds often begins with protecting the places they return to.

Happy World Albatross Day — 19 June.

Give the gift of birds.

You already know what birding can do. It changes how you walk, how you look, how you notice the world around you.

So if there is someone in your life who has been circling the edges, this might be the nudge they need.

And if you are reading this thinking it might be you, here it is.

Free delivery is included, with a little more value kept in your pocket.

We are happy to give a bit back if it means LYFER plays even a small part in helping someone begin a life with birds.

The Birding Starter Kit is now available online.

Binoculars help you find the bird.
But a scope..... well it helps you 'really' see it.

The NOCS Lite View Spotting Scope is for birders ready to go beyond binoculars, bringing distant birds, finer field marks and behaviour into clearer view.

It also means that you dont have to get so close to our birds to enjoy them, and that's the good for the birds right!?

Compact enough to use handheld, tripod-ready when you want to stay longer, and beautifully designed by our partners at NOCS.

The Good Stuff:
9x–27x zoom
56 mm objective lens
Protective carry bag, lens cloth and webbing strap included
Backed by NOCS’ lifetime warranty

Available now at LYFER with free delivery.

And if this scope is your first embrace with LYFER, enjoy 10% off your first purchase when you join us.

AVIAN JOURNAL | Bird Awareness
When Australian Birds Become Invasive

Funny thing about birds. They don’t know when they’re somewhere they’re not meant to be.

Some birds feel so familiar to us here, yet tell a very different story somewhere else.

Our latest Avian Journal looks at Australian birds, invasive species, and us humans usually found somewhere in the middle.
