Saw or heard a bird in Brazil and don't know which one? Take a photo or record its song and Piu shows the most likely species. 1,800+ birds with photos.
Piu is a pocket guide to the birds of Brazil, made for anyone who enjoys birds.
Saw or heard a bird and don't know which one? Take a photo or record its song and Piu shows the most likely species. Look up any bird by its English, Portuguese or scientific name, see photos, hear its song and mark the ones you have seen. Little by little, you build your own bird list.
IDENTIFY FROM A PHOTO
• Take or pick a photo of the bird and see the 3 most likely species
• Compare each one's photo and song before you choose
• Tap the right bird and it goes on your list with your photo, the date and the place
• No internet? The photo is kept so you can identify it later
• 5 free identifications to try it out
IDENTIFY BY SONG
• Record the bird singing for a few seconds and see the most likely species
• Works offline: recognition runs on your iPhone
• Free and unlimited
• We start with 20 species, and new ones arrive often, with no app update needed

THE GUIDE WORKS WITHOUT INTERNET
Photos, songs and song identification are inside the app. Take Piu to the trail, the countryside or the beach, even with no signal. Only photo identification needs internet.
YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU
No sign-up and no ads. Your sightings, photos and places stay only on your iPhone. When you ask to identify a photo, it is analyzed on our server and discarded right away, never stored. If you allow it, song recordings are sent to Piu and kept to improve recognition, with only your state, never your exact location. You can turn this off at any time.
The photos and songs come from photographers and recordists who share their work under open licenses (CC BY and CC0), mostly on iNaturalist. Thank you all!
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
New in version 1.7:
• The guide now follows the official list of birds of Brazil (CBRO): 1,979 species, with the CBRO Portuguese names.
• When a bird's Portuguese name changed, its page shows the former one, and search still finds the bird by it.
• Birds that left the list and that you've already logged stay in My list and in the Piudex, tagged as exotic or not on the CBRO list.
• The Portuguese name now shows on every species screen.
