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 considered one of the most critically endangered dove species in the world, with a highly restricted and fragmented population.
The species was officially designated as the national bird of Grenada in 1991 to prioritize its conservation.
Unlike many arboreal pigeons, it is a largely terrestrial bird that prefers to forage and walk along the forest floor.
The population has been severely impacted by habitat loss for tourism development and predation by invasive species like the Small Indian Mongoose.
Taxonomically, it was once categorized as a subspecies of the Grey-fronted Dove before being recognized as a distinct endemic species.

Habitat

Lowland seasonal dry forests and scrubland, characterized by a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees.

Range

Endemic exclusively to the island of Grenada in the Lesser Antilles.
