Birda's Community Powered Identification Features

Community-powered bird identification

There is power in numbers. Our friendly community, filled with birdwatching expertise, spans more than 177 countries making it an extraordinary source of Human Intelligence (HI) for identifying birds.

 

All you need to do is share an image of a bird you can’t identify, then sit back and get bird ID suggestions from birders around the world – who are often more accurate and insightful than artificial intelligence systems! It’s a great way to learn faster too. Being told what bird you’ve seen is great, but getting tips and tricks to help you identify it again is better.

Integrated species guide​

Identifying birds is quicker and simpler with our integrated species guide. Now you don’t need to switch between different apps or books to log and identify your bird sightings. Just tap the species picture in your sighting list, and you’ll directly access the guide for that specific bird, an easy way to make sure you’ve spotted the right one.

What birders say about our bird identification features

Fun, kind community, and especially accessible for newbies (though not by any means limiting for more advanced birdwatchers). I enjoy having the opportunity to help others with bird identification, and the badges are kind of fun -- I'm always eager to add a new bird.

Great birding app, good for logging your sightings, also has nice species guide. I'm enjoying the social aspect more than I expected, everyone seems friendly and helps to identify unknown birds. Good mix of newbies and experienced users.

I really enjoy using Birda, it’s great for logging sightings and also for the community spirit. I think it’s great that people can put up pictures of birds they haven’t been able to ID so more experienced birders can help out, we need that kind of inclusivity in this day and age.

Fabulous app which, as a newbie, helps me with bird ID & keeping a personal record. I can browse the logs of others to improve my spotting ability/know what to look out for. Easy to use with a helpful, friendly & knowledgeable community for those "no idea what that one is" moments (I have many). It isn't my only bird app, but it's certainly my most used.
