How accurate is Birdsong's bird identifier?

It runs Google's Perch, a research-grade acoustic model covering nearly 15,000 species. When a call is ambiguous, we say so honestly and let you record a second clip to confirm, rather than guessing.

Is my recording stored?

No. Your audio is used to identify the bird in the moment and isn't saved to our servers. The birds you confirm are kept as cards in your own field journal; the recordings themselves are not.

Is the bird identifier free?

Yes — identify birds every day for free, no account required. Birdsong Pro ($3.99/mo or $39.99/yr) unlocks unlimited IDs, full field guides, your growing collection, and shareable Field Report cards.

Do I need an account or internet to identify a bird?

You'll need a connection to identify, since the AI runs in the cloud. No account is needed to try it — sign in with Google or email to save your field journal and sync it across devices.

Field notes

It is the last remaining native parakeet species in the Cuban archipelago.
Nesting typically occurs in abandoned woodpecker holes, particularly those in dead palm trees.
Once abundant across the entire island, the population is now fragmented and largely restricted to remote areas like the Zapata Swamp.
In flight, the species displays a striking scarlet patch on the underwing coverts that is otherwise hidden.
The species is currently classified as Vulnerable due to habitat loss and persistent illegal poaching for the pet trade.

Habitat

Savannas, palm groves, and evergreen woodland edges.

Range

Endemic to Cuba; localized populations remain in central and eastern provinces.
