About this app

Birda is not your typical birdwatching app, it’s your ultimate bird watching companion for birdwatching in the USA, North America and globally, 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.

LIFE LISTS - Birda automatically create Life Lists of the birds you’ve seen, organised by time, location, and more.

PRIVACY - Control what you share, hide sensitive locations, and set privacy zones around your home.

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.

Reconnect with nature, identify birds, grow your birding knowledge, and make a difference with Birda.

Took £36 from me for a "subscription" advertised at £3 a month. Used the app once to identify a wading bird and then once as part of a suggestion to record birds seen in our area (we were on holiday). I did not find it useful and stopped using it. I feel it represents poor value for money with no real encouragement to keep using it. Uninstalling. And give me my money back. Con artists.

Hello, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry you didn't enjoy using Birda. We're sorry that you found our subscription confusing - we only offer an annual subscription and clearly state this in our app. We also notify you twice before the free trial converts to a paid subscription in case you aren't enjoying Birda and want to cancel it.

Wonderful App! It's the only one I use for birding and keeping track of my sightings. I really enjoy the session feature and use it on all my walks. It's also a great community, everyone is always friendly and helpful and there are some real experts who always help with IDing unidentified sightings. It really helped me when I was more of a beginner. It has so many great features, like seeing what people have seen nearby and sound recordings of birds in the species list.

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.
