Camera, photo or song

Know the bird. Keep the moment.

Point the camera, pick a photo or let the bird sing. Birdy suggests the species right on your phone, and every find goes into your field journal, onto your life list and towards your next badge.

    Pick a picture from your gallery, crop around the bird and let Birdy take a look.

The field journal

Every sighting gets its own page.

Save the match with the date, a note of your own and the place if you like. New species get an embossed stamp, and every week your sightings come together in a spread of their own.

Questions

Before you download.

what people usually ask

Does Birdy work without a signal?

Yes. Identification with the camera, photos and sound runs on your phone, and the guide and journal are always there. Only the map tiles in the Premium map need a connection.

Do I need an account?

No. Open the app and start. Your journal lives on your phone.

How sure is the identification?

Good enough to learn from, and honest when it is unsure. Every match shows how sure Birdy is, and you always confirm before anything is saved.

What does Birdy cost?

Birdy is free to download and use. Premium is an optional upgrade with the map, PDF export, season statistics and extra badges. It is free for everyone for now, and buying it in Google Play comes in a later version.

Prices and what is included

Is Birdy available for iPhone?

The iPhone app is on its way. The Android app is available now, and the App Store link will appear here when the iPhone version is out.
