Which bird is singing? Point your phone, record the song, and find out in seconds. Bird Call Identifier is a fast, easy-to-use app that identifies birds by sound, photo, or a simple description. No account required. Just open the app and start exploring.
Whether you’re watching birds in your backyard, walking through the park, or hiking a forest trail, every sighting becomes a new discovery.
IDENTIFY BIRDS BY SOUND
Record a bird song, call, or chirp and let the app find the matching species. Bird song identification works even with everyday background noise. Just a few seconds of clear audio is enough to recognize who’s singing outside your window.
IDENTIFY BIRDS BY PHOTO
Take a photo or choose one from your library to identify any bird instantly. Zoom in on distant birds, frame the perfect shot, and receive accurate results within seconds.
DESCRIBE WHAT YOU SAW
Didn’t capture a photo or recording? Simply describe the bird’s size, colors, markings, or behavior. The app will help narrow down the species using your observations.
EXPLORE 10,000+ SPECIES
Every identification unlocks a detailed species profile with beautiful photos, bird songs, habitat information, behavior, and fascinating facts. Discover hummingbirds, sparrows, finches, warblers, woodpeckers, hawks, owls, eagles, ducks, waterfowl, and thousands more from North America, Europe, Britain, Australia, and beyond.
SEE WHAT’S AROUND YOU
Discover which birds are most likely near you with the seasonal migration map. Browse local sightings, explore the featured bird of the day, and know what to listen for before heading outside.

The birds around you are already singing. Now you’ll know who’s behind every song.
Seems to be an easy to use tool. I believe it is accurate though I often can’t see the birds that I’m identifying by sound. I’ve just gotten it at and at $6.99 a week, feels expensive but I like that you can pay by the week. Hopefully it’s truly something you can actually get in and out of. It is a good purchase for a vacation or a specific time that you are looking to identify birds.
Developer Response
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're glad you've found BirdID easy to use and that it's helping you identify birds by their songs. You're right that many birds can be heard more often than they're seen, which makes sound identification especially useful. We also appreciate your feedback on the pricing. We offer a weekly option so users can enjoy the app during trips, vacations, or birdwatching seasons without committing to a long-term subscription. Thanks again for giving Bird Call Identifier a try, and happy birding!

I wasted my time downloading this. It should say it requires a paid subscription from the very beginning
