Description
The only serious bird app available for Colombia with 5,300 illustrations + 4,000 songs and calls based on the book Birds of Northern South America by Robin Restall.
*** Planning to go bird watching in Colombia? Then this is the app for you. This app fills a gap in the region and is the only serious bird app available for Colombia. It is based on the renowned reference work of the Helm Guide Series "Birds of Northern South America" by Robin Restall, Clemencia Rodner, and Miguel Lentino. The creation of apps from the book is a co-production between Bloomsbury Plc. and Sunbird Images. The app contains 5,600 illustrations and more than 4,000 bird songs and calls in total. ***
*** Dutch Birding Journal writes:
"Would I recommend this app to anyone going on a birding trip to Colombia or one of the other countries in Northern South America? For sure! ..., you will be provided with a load of information, a nearly complete set of bird sounds and a few useful tools and features for use in the field for relatively low money." ***

Colombia is the “Land of Birds” with vast natural richness and a number of natural superlatives. With its nearly 1,900 species it covers about 20 % of the world's bird species population with 78 endemic species covered in this app.
Choose between 6 bird name languages:
English, Spanish, French, Dutch, German, Latin
Narrow species down by foot colour, bill shape, tail length etc. leading to the bird searched for plus a choice of similar species. You can also look for fragments of a species name – the search for “finch“ shows all the species which include the word “finch“ in the species’ name.
***A graphically well-designed layout – easy to use with large lettering.***
"All Birds Colombia" is very well suited for keeping personalised bird watch lists.

Ratings and Reviews
Decent app. A little over priced.
When compared with the new plates from the Lynx / Birdlife physical guides most of the illustrations leave a bit to be desired and there are no map figures for reference. The best feature is the sounds provided with sonograms (a useful learning aid). Would purchase this over the Colombia BirdSounds app since the recordings are of far better quality (Boseman’s better recordings from the other app are represented here as well as many supplementary ones which makes for a good sound library).
Nice app but.....
I recently purchased this app for use on a forthcoming trip to Colombia. On the surface it seems just about perfect with good coverage of species, well illustrated, good sound clips etc. The downside, and it’s a big one, is that it has a tendency to crash. When it does the only way to get it going again is to delete the app and download and reinstall again. This is totally impractical in the field and given limited WiFi in the lodges far from helpful.
Good first impressions
App looks straight forward to use and species comparison facility (although not available for every species), useful. Sounds I’ve listened to so far are clear and range maps detailed. Illustrations are somewhat “average” and limited but overall I think will prove a worthwhile investment for my forthcoming trip.
