QuébecOiseaux (previously the Association québécoise des groupes d'ornithologues) is a not-for-profit organization that groups and represents individuals and organizations interested in the study, observation and protection of birds in Québec. The organization has three main goals: 1) to develop and promote birdwatching in Québec, 2) acquire and disseminate information about the status of the birds of Québec, and 3) to ensure the protection of these birds and their habitats. QuébecOiseaux participated in several steps of the production of the first Québec Breeding Bird Atlas (1984-1989), notably the publication. It is also responsible for three important databases containing information about the birds of Québec: ÉPOQ, which holds millions of records of birds observed in Québec; SOS-POP, which holds information about bird species at risk; and the database of the first Québec Breeding Bird Atlas.
