The Parrot Project is a community-driven initiative designing and deploying remote environmental IoT monitoring devices across Australia. We believe in open-source solutions for a sustainable future.
Our Mission
We're building a distributed network of environmental sensors to monitor climate indicators, air quality, and ecosystem health. All data is open and accessible to everyone.
All environmental data collected by our network is freely available to researchers, communities, and anyone who cares about our planet. No paywalls, no restrictions.
Our device designs are completely open-source. Build your own sensors, modify them for your needs, or contribute improvements to the community.
This is a community-driven project. We welcome contributors of all skill levels—from hardware engineers to citizen scientists who want to host a node.
Our flagship monitoring device is designed to be affordable, durable, and completely open-source. Each node can operate autonomously for years on solar power.
Deployment
Our network is growing. From coastal regions to the outback, Parrot nodes are being deployed to monitor Australia's unique environments.
Community
The Parrot Project is powered by an amazing community of contributors, hosts, and supporters.
Developers, engineers, and enthusiasts contributing code and designs
Individuals and organizations hosting Parrot nodes at their locations
Environmental measurements collected and shared openly
Whether you want to build a node, host one at your location, or contribute to the code, there's a place for you in the Parrot community.
