Features & Capabilities

Bird Identification is a powerful Chrome extension designed to help nature lovers recognize bird species through audio detection using your device's microphone. While the identification algorithm offers probability-based results and may sometimes overestimate confidence, it serves as an effective tool for casual birdwatching.

Beyond audio recognition, this extension features an extensive wiki covering approximately 150 bird species, complete with descriptions, photos, habitats, rarity status, and nesting dates. Users can also explore a breeding calendar highlighting active species during each month. The integrated photo gallery organizes your observations into "Favory" and "History" collections, with cloud access for your personal photos (internet required). Additionally, the extension provides a list of birds currently breeding, making it an indispensable companion for bird enthusiasts and researchers alike.
