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!

Ratings and reviews

Pretty good but buggy in spots. I'm trying to add sightings from many years and there are problems with the dates. I added sightings from several years but the sightings list keeps showing today's date instead of the date I entered so I thought I'd just delete those and start over. After deletion Sightings list still shows sightings for today but when I select it it says No sightings have been entered. WHAT? If all sightings have been deleted why does it still say there are sightings that date?

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 love this app but there are some issues 1. Often, when I go back to my profile page it takes me to the last friend's page I visited, not my profile. I can click back or exit out, then click on profile, and it still opens their profile not mine. Quite annoying. Idk how to access my profile a lot of the time. 2. It doesn't always pickup the right bird. IE I took a picture of a Pekin duck at a pond, and it gives me 5% Mute Swan. Fix either one of these issues and I will change to 5 stars.
