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 distinguished from the Hispaniolan Amazon by its smaller size and lack of white on the forehead.
A subspecies formerly native to Mona Island, Psittacara chloropterus maugei, became extinct in the late 19th century.
These birds are highly social and are typically seen in noisy, fast-flying flocks that can exceed 50 individuals.
They are opportunistic feeders that consume seeds, fruits, and nuts, sometimes raiding maize and grain crops.
Nesting usually occurs in tree cavities, including old woodpecker holes, or occasionally in arboreal termite mounds.

Habitat

Found in a variety of environments from dry scrublands and lowland forests to high-elevation montane evergreen forests.

Range

Endemic to Hispaniola (the Dominican Republic and Haiti), with introduced populations established in Florida and Puerto Rico.
