• Create your own bird art with colouring sheets from Pete Cromer

Which of the 830 bird species that call Australia home (or at least one of their homes) should make it into the 2025 Australian bird of the year poll?

Australia has the greatest diversity of avian life in the world, home to nearly one in 10 of the world’s 10,000 living bird species. And we love to celebrate it. Australians are renowned for admiring our beautiful, bountiful and boisterous birds. And nothing highlights that more than the Guardian/Birdlife Australia bird of the year poll, held every two years, when birdlovers around the country battle it out to see their favourite feathered friend take the crown as best bird.

We would like to speak to people who are sticking to their jobs, a trend which has been termed job-hugging

Workers in the UK are embracing job-hugging and prioritising security in their careers as they face a competitive job market, according to new figures.

Instead of looking for new roles, employees are sticking to their jobs, a trend which has been termed job-hugging. We would like to speak to people about how they have revitalised their love for their job. How do you bring back the spark when you’ve been in a job for a long time? Do you have any tips you’d like to share about how to make your job more exciting?

We’d like to hear from people who have been inspired by a song, TV show, film or book to make a major change in their life

Whether it’s leaving a loveless relationship after watching Sex and the City or a punk band inspiring you to quit drinking, we’d like to hear about your moments of cultural awakening for a column in the Guardian’s Saturday magazine.

We would like to hear about the small actions that have brought you joy when you’re feeling down

In an era of permacrisis, what lifts your spirits? We’re interested to hear from people about the small, everyday actions that have bought you joy when you’ve been feeling down.

It could be starting a conversation with a stranger, taking a family walk, doing karaoke or spontaneous skinny dipping - the less expected, the better.

Please include a sentence or two about why you were in a slump (perhaps it was after a bad break-up, or during a particularly stressful time at work?) Tell us about the thing that helped you out of it.

We want to hear from people in their 60s, 70s, 80s or even 90s who are actively dating other people over the age of 60

We’d like to hear from both single people and members of couples who very recently met the love of their life on a date. What is the best and worst date you’ve been on? Any funny or shocking anecdotes to share?

How do relationships compare to the ones you had at a younger age? How much does companionship or sex factor? What about exes – your’s and your partners’ children and grandchildren? Are you using apps and websites or relying on word of mouth? Have you been on a lot of dates? What about ghosting?

We’d like to hear from people who are in a throuple or who used to be in one, and what their relationship was like

The Guardian’s Saturday magazine is looking for throuples to talk honestly about the experience of love and commitment. We’re particularly interested in talking to throuples living together under one roof, as well as throuples who are raising children as a unit of three parents. Is it easier to manage childcare duties when there are more adults in the room? Or more difficult?

It is important that all parties agree to being featured. This means we need you to ask the other people involved whether they’re also willing to take part.

We would like to hear your questions about the climate crisis and we will put a selection of them to our panel

• The Guardian’s climate assembly with George Monbiot and special guests

In the last few years we’ve witnessed a dramatic shift away from the progress we need to avert climate disaster. A growing lobby of economic and political denial has been empowered by the Trump administration, which has declared war on climate progress, launching more dramatic anti-green moves in its first 100 days than in his entire first term. Around the world, a growing number of lawsuits are being used against governments over environmental laws and other regulations, while groups such as Greenpeace are being targeted too.

On Tuesday 16 September, a Guardian panel of experts will be looking to answer questions about the forces driving the pushback against a greener world.

We would like to hear what people think about the use of artificial intelligence in schools in the US

Students in grades K-12 have been invited by Melania Trump to take part in a nationwide contest designed to encourage the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help solve community issues. The first lady wants students to “unleash their imagination and showcase the spirit of American innovation” by participating in the government-sponsored contest.

We want to hear from parents and teachers on their experiences of AI in schools. How do you feel about it being used in education? Do you support it or are you against it?
