Yep, I got fed up with them ten years ago and dropped out altogether. All
they ever seemed to do ( in regard to member contact) was ask me for money,
and they still do even though I'm unsubscribed. In the bin I'm afraid.

Subject: Is anyone else sick of BirdLife Australia marketing?

"With numbers down 84%... how long before the Lesser Sand Plover is
extinct?
"This Silent Shorebirds Crisis can't continue."
Silent crisis? seriously, it's been at the forefront of ornithology for 10
years hasn't it. are BirdLife Australia just realizing this?.. and is this
actually true? Given these people have recently said in similar marketing
90% of Australia's woodlands have been cleared in the past few decades, we
need to protect private land for Mallee- Emu-wrens (they never occured on
private land as far as I know) and Magpies are going extinct, you have to
wonder?
I've supported this organization in the past to the tune of tens of
thousands and all I get is constant negative doomsday marketing trying to
guilt me into things. They must send me a dozen a year. Add to that a
massive and insultingly invasive, "supporter survey" asking me everything
from my income to where live!
These people do wonderful actual conservation and research work - I know I
help with much of it and they are great! but for god's sake who is running
this organization these days?
Is anyone else totally sick of them or is it just me?
Frank.
