The Robert Falla Memorial Award (sometimes referred to as the Falla Award) is granted by the Ornithological Society of New Zealand to people "who have made a significant contribution to both the Ornithological Society of New Zealand and to New Zealand ornithology".[1][2]
It was set up in memory of Robert Falla[1] after his death in 1979, using contributions from a public appeal.[3] The first award was made in 1981, but for the first few years awards were made for the preceding year.[4] In some years no award is made.
