Bird Song NZ

Ko ngā manu o Aotearoa he taonga tuku iho.
The birds of New Zealand are a treasure passed down through generations.

Bird Song NZ listens to the world around you and identifies native birds by their calls — no photo needed, just sound. Hold your phone up, tap record, and within seconds discover whether that song drifting through the bush is a korimako (bellbird), a tūī, or a kererū cooing overhead.

Every identification shows the bird's Māori name with te reo pronunciation, its place in Te Ao Māori, and its DOC conservation status — connecting you to the living taonga of Aotearoa.

Bird Song NZ is made in New Zealand, for New Zealand. Our identification engine is tuned to the unique soundscape of Aotearoa — not a generic global model. We know the difference between a bellbird and a blackbird, and we know why that matters.

Whether you are walking through native bush, exploring a wetland reserve, or just hearing something beautiful in your garden — Bird Song NZ helps you connect with the living taonga around you.

Mā te mātauranga, ka ora ngā manu o Aotearoa.
Through knowledge, the birds of New Zealand will thrive.
