Burd — Bird ID & Bird Journal
Live Photo & Sound ID Scanner
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Identify birds without having to take a photo first with Live ID!
Burd — Birding made simple.
Point your camera at a bird and identify it without having to take a photo first. Burd is a bird identification app we built because the birding apps we were using felt like they were missing something.
Our live ID works in real time, so you can pan around and identify a species the moment you spot something. Prefer to go by ear? Sound ID listens for calls and songs and tells you who's singing. Use both live Photo & Sound ID at the same time to get even more accurate results.
While you're out in the field, Burd saves your photos to your journal as drafts so you can identify everything once connection is restored. No need to log GPS coordinates or field notes on the spot. Just enjoy the moment, and fill in the details later if you want to.
Every bird you spot gets a home in your journal. Keep it private, or share it. Post sightings for the world to see, or keep things cozy and share with friends only. As you log more species, you'll earn badges and unlock species cards for your collection, a fun way to track your progress as a birder.
Whether you're a lifelong birder or just curious about the bird outside your window, Burd makes identifying and remembering birds easy.
