Roberts Birds

Roberts Birds is the most comprehensive bird app of South Africa.

It boasts an award winning identification tool and has a vast source of information:
- Over 9000 beautiful and diagnostic illustrations and images of all variants, e.g. immature, males, females, dark and light morphs
- Over 2100 comprehensive and clear bird calls
- Over 700 comparative plates
- The most comprehensive information on the birds
- Interactive and accurate bird distribution maps, showing the migration patterns per month where applicable.

The ID Search function allows you to select your current, or any other location and the birds at that location will be filtered. Over and above the GPS location, you can search by shape, type, colours, size, where seen, bird calls and more. There are 100's of attributes you can choose from, which makes identifying a bird accurate and easy. As a first ever bird app achievement, the resulting bird list is sorted by relevance with the most probable birds matching your search criteria at the top, which makes it extremely quick and accurate. The ability to remove birds from the results is a game-changer. It even has a section for hard to identify birds (LBJ's, etc)

In addition to the ID Search function, Roberts Birds contains the most accurate Image Recognition for South African birds. You can upload images from your device or take a photo with the device's camera, which will then be used for the Image Recognition. This function has a 2-week evaluation period.

Roberts Birds also offers the most accurate location filter available. You can select current location, location from a map, a country or any of over 1200 South African reserves.

You can also log your sightings with trip descriptions, date and notes, which are then indicated as pins on the distribution maps. Sightings lists can be viewed and can even be synced to a website and shared between devices.

Roberts Birds also offers a Similars functionality. It not only ranks the similars, it also gives preference to your location selection. When using a location filter, similars at that location will be ranked higher and similars outside of your selected location will be displayed last.
No internet connectivity is required to operate the app after it is installed which makes it possible to use the app in the most remote locations.

All updates are regular and free.


After downloading the App you have to buy a mandatory Core Version yearly subscription for the app to function.

The Core version subscription doesn’t include the image recognition which is an additional yearly subscription you can buy.
