About Birda

Birda is a birdwatching app and community aimed at curious people who want to deepen their connection with nature, make a positive impact and be part of an inclusive community that can guide their birding journey. We developed Birda because we believe nature is for everyone, and nature needs everyone on her side.

Our Mission

To help people experience the natural world so they’ll fight to protect it.

How does Birda work?

Nature needs us

Biodiversity is under threat worldwide. It’s in desperate need of protection and restoration.

 

But people are usually only motivated to care about nature once they’ve experienced it. We’re here to help them do that. We want to encourage as many people as possible to enjoy our environment.

 

With Birda, anyone can connect with nature, help to conserve it by using the app, and be inspired to fight for its future in other ways.

Two founders of Birda the Birdwatching app

Our Founders

After moving to the UK from South Africa during the pandemic, Natalie and John White realised their vision for a new era of birdwatching – one founded on their shared love of wildlife, the outdoors, and a belief that nature has the power to unite us. Birda was born.
