On-device Sound ID powered by BirdNET: record a bird's song and name the species instantly, even offline. Or snap a photo. Plus hotspots, a field guide and quizzes.
Hear a bird you can't see? Spot one you can't name? Bird Identifier tells you which species it is in seconds — from its song or from a photo.
IDENTIFY BY SOUND — ON YOUR DEVICE
Tap record and let the bird sing. Our Sound ID runs BirdNET, the acoustic model from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, entirely on your iPhone — so it's fast, private, and works even without signal. No guessing, no made-up answers: you get the real species with a confidence score and the likely look-alikes.
IDENTIFY BY PHOTO
Snap a bird in your yard, on a trail, or at the feeder and get the species, scientific name, family, diet, habitat, and a memorable fact — plus whether it's safe to approach.
