About this app

Birda is not your typical bird identifier app, it’s your ultimate bird watching companion, blending bird identification, an inclusive global community, and conservation in a single place. Modern life pushes us away from nature. Use Birda to start pushing back.

Whether you’re a seasoned birder or just curious about nature, Birda helps you explore, learn, and share your birding journey. Here’s how:

IDENTIFY BIRDS - Use the AI-powered bird identifier tool to identify birds from photos (even blurry ones) or consult the comprehensive bird guide filled with bird calls and reference images. Want more help to ID a bird you saw? Ask the community for identification help and grow your birdwatching & bird ID knowledge faster.

RECORD - Log birds one at a time or create sessions with multiple sightings. Birda is your homebase for all things birding. Don’t just make bird watching memories, keep them.

DISCOVER - Find bird watching hotspots near you and see what species others are spotting, You can also explore different countries and see what birds are being seen there. Now that is pretty awesome.

COMMUNITY - Celebrate birds and nature with like-minded enthusiasts. Share sightings, exchange tips, and cheer each other on. Are you a bird ID expert? Then help the community with bird identification. If you like fun & nature, the Birda community is for you!

CONSERVATION - While you turn your birdwatching into a fun adventure your sightings help protect birds and their habitats. Birda shares data with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) to support real-world conservation efforts. Cool, right?

GOALS & CHALLENGES - Stay motivated with birding challenges, achievement badges, and personal milestones and feel less anxious, healthier and happier as you spend more time in nature.

SYNC - Import sightings from eBird, Merlin Bird ID, BirdTrack, BirdLasser, and more. Already have records? Export them anytime.

LIFE LISTS - Birda automatically create Life Lists of the birds you’ve seen, organised by time, location, and more.

PRIVACY - Control what you share, hide sensitive locations, and set privacy zones around your home.

TAXONOMY - View sightings across multiple taxonomies like IOC, Clements, and BirdLife HBW with Birda’s seamless taxonomic engine.


Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned birder, Birda is for everyone.
Download today, head out, and start logging your birding adventures.

Remember, if you are coming from another platform, then there is no better way to get started than to import your records to Birda.

If you want to move your records to another platform, you are free to export all of your sightings from Birda.

Really enjoy this app. I can track and post my birding sessions and interact with fellow birdwatching enthusiasts. I always enjoy looking at the incredible photographs people share. There are many very talented photographers on this app that share on a regular basis. I haven't joined their birda+ yet as I'm not sure if it's a one time fee of $40 or if it's broken down into payments. The payment option would be better for me but I'm assuming it's so much easier for them to do a one time charge.

I've been using Birda for over a year now, and I really love it, except I updated it recently and am very disappointed that they've now made using AI to identify birds one of the app's priorities and it's the top button when logging a new sighting. I enjoyed this app because it didn't have any AI features: AI is unethical (using copy righted images to build databases, and huge amounts of electricity and water to power those databases) and lazy.

Really good for logging bird sightings, not good for detecting birds as much but it gets a decent guess. I really love the community on Birda, they help if you can't figure out a species. It has a variety of birds on there and you can search for birds in areas outside of your own.
