The [[Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union]] (RAOU) may elect somebody to the position of [[fellow]], the highest grade of membership, for service to the RAOU and to [[ornithology]]. Fellows of the RAOU are entitled to use the letters FRAOU after their name. There is a limit to the number of fellows at any time and new fellows are generally only elected when one dies. In the following list those elected to the similar positions of corresponding member or corresponding fellow (CM) are included, although this does not appear to have occurred since the 1930s. |
