Description

Birda is not your typical birdwatching app, it’s your ultimate bird watching companion for birdwatching, 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! CONSERVATION - While you turn your birdwatching into a fun adventure your sightings help protect birds and their habitats. Birda shares data with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) to support real-world conservation efforts. Cool, right? GOALS & CHALLENGES - Stay motivated with birding challenges, achievement badges, and personal milestones and feel less anxious, healthier and happier as you spend more time in nature. SYNC - Import sightings from eBird, Merlin Bird ID, BirdTrack, BirdLasser, and more. Already have records? Export them anytime.

TAXONOMY - View sightings across multiple taxonomies like IOC, Clements, and BirdLife HBW with Birda’s seamless taxonomic engine. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned birder, Birda is for everyone. Download today, head out, and start logging your birding adventures. Remember, if you are coming from another platform, then there is no better way to get started than to import your records to Birda. We currently support imports from eBird, iNaturalist, Birdtrack and Birdlasser, with more coming soon. If you want to move your records to another platform, you are free to export all of your sightings from Birda.

  • Great app for all birders!

    Had this app for a while and had been really helpful. You can log sightings, share pictures, id birds, and even help others if they see a bird and don’t know what it is. It’s great for beginners, who can get help and learn from the app. Veteran birders can do even more by helping others I’d birds and sharing their knowledge !
  • You have to pay

    Update: I was told by devs that: you can use Birda for free! You just need to skip the paywall and you will be able to access the free version of Birda :) Maybe I’ll try the app again in the future. this was my only major problem with this app, so I’ll change my ratings. ———————— Previous review: Don’t even waste your time. The concept is really cool, but they don’t even make the app free. I saw it in an Instagram ad and was excited to download it. I like the idea of it, but there’s a big difference between this app and Pokémon Go, which it compares itself too by the way - Pokémon go is free They make you go through the hassle of signing up and creating a profile. And after you do you get to a screen that lets you know that the first seven days are free.

    This is not what I anticipated you have to be in the place where you see the bird in order to put the location in and the birds they’re providing me with I see on a regular basis
  • Best birding app in the word #2

    As you know I love this app! I love to share my photography! But do you think you could add more slots for photos? You don’t have to though if you’re busy! it’s already an amazing app!
  • Gave it a shot

    While I appreciate the concept, the app is slow and contains bugs. Setting the duration of a walk/trip is pointless as it will change by itself and say it lasted seconds. When you try to fix it, it gets confused and thinks you’re time traveling. Furthermore, some birds won’t show, lists don’t seem to organize by date but rather posting date, uploading images takes a while, and the community board left me longing for customization. For example, I wish I could select to see just the posts from my state and not all the way to Canada. It feels more like a posting board than a bird app.

    Be careful! They offer you a 7 day free trial but charge you $39 regardless.
  • Love it, but post upload is slow

    I love the community and the tools. -1 star for: I don't know if it is only me but the post upload is quite slow, usually takes like a minute to upload one image.

    Paywall, don’t download. Get Merlin.
  • Not as good as eBird or INaturalist

    This app has a bad interface, poor ID tools, and is redundant. Also- the fact that there is a Birda+ paid option is upsetting. Citizen science and bird watching should NOT be a pay to play system. Overall, this app does absolutely nothing that INaturalist doesn’t do, and makes you pay for full features, which are free on iNat.
  • Fantastic!

    Birda is exactly what I was looking for in a social birding app! If it didn’t exist I was about to make one myself. I love that I can like and comment on other’s photos and find photos of a certain bird by species. The challenges will get me out in nature more. There’s a few things that might make this app even better: - Ability to change default email address - A forums feature to discuss birding topics like best camera gear, conservation efforts, etc. and make it searchable using AI. - A feature similar to meetup.com or couchsurfing.com where users can connect with other nearby birders to plan birding trips together. I realize safety features would need to be added.
