Know the bird from a photo or by its song, even with no connection.
Take a photo of a bird or let Ornavia listen. It shows you the birds that look most alike, each with its photo, so you can compare and decide. Everything happens on your iPhone or iPad, even out in the field with no connection.
TAKE A PHOTO AND COMPARE
- Five possible birds for every photo, each with its picture beside it.
- Ornavia tells you in plain words how sure it is. When it isn't sure, it says so and gives you tips for a better photo.
- Take several photos in a row or pick them from your library: they're identified one by one.
LISTEN TO ITS SONG
- Ornavia listens and records at the same time, and shows you the bird as soon as it recognizes it.
- Five possible birds for every song, each with its photo, just like photos.
- Every recording is saved to your journal with the bird and the moment.
GET TO KNOW EACH SPECIES
- Size, habitat, migration, diet, conservation status and fun facts.
- Tips to recognize it and tell it apart from similar birds.

YOUR FIELD JOURNAL
- Every sighting with its photo or recording, the place, the weather, what the bird was doing, how many there were and your notes.

SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY
- A different bird every day, from anywhere in the world, with its photo and its story.

Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
- Fixed the Hotspots button on the map, which was hidden behind the bottom bar. It now sits between the photo and sound buttons.
- Tap a nearby hotspot, in Discover or on the map, and Maps shows you the way there.
- Bird photos are now framed on the bird: you see its head and body instead of just a wing or its feet.
