BirdID — Identify birds from a photo

Spotted a bird you don't recognize? Point your camera or pick a photo from your gallery, and BirdID tells you the most likely species in seconds — then lets you hear its song and read more about it.

BirdID uses region-specific AI models trained on hundreds of species per area, so the results are tuned to the birds that actually live where you are. It even takes the season into account, so breeding and non-breeding plumages are handled.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Identify birds from a single photo, or combine several photos of the same bird from different angles for a more confident result.
• Detect your region automatically by GPS, or pick a biome manually.
• See the top matches, each with a confidence score.
• Listen to the bird's song, streamed from the Xeno-canto community archive with full credit to the recordist.
• Open a Wikipedia article for any species to learn more.
• Keep a history of your identifications — stored privately on your device.

BUILT FOR REAL BIRDWATCHING
Each region has its own dedicated model — eastern forests, deserts, the boreal zone, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic coast and more across North America and Europe — with new regions added over time. Because the model knows the month of your observation, it copes with seasonal plumage changes that trip up generic identifiers.

FREE AND PREMIUM
BirdID is free to use with a monthly limit of identifications. Upgrade to Premium for unlimited identifications, available as a monthly or annual subscription. Subscriptions are billed through Google Play and renew automatically; you can cancel anytime.

YOUR PRIVACY COMES FIRST
Your photos are used only to identify the bird and are not stored on our servers. Your identification history stays on your device. We never sell your data, and there are no ads. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from within the app.

LANGUAGES
BirdID is available in English, Spanish, French and German, and follows your device's language automatically.
