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

The orange wing patches are a key diagnostic feature but are often only clearly visible when the bird is in flight.
Unlike many endangered Amazona species, this bird remains common and is considered a resilient generalist in human-altered landscapes.
They are known to form massive roosting colonies that can exceed 5,000 individuals in mangrove or swamp habitats.
The species is sexually monomorphic, meaning there are no visual physical differences between males and females.
In certain parts of their range, they are considered agricultural pests due to their tendency to forage on cocoa, mango, and citrus crops.

Habitat

Tropical lowland forests, mangroves, swamp forests, and open savannas with scattered trees.

Range

Widespread throughout South America, including the Amazon Basin, Colombia, Venezuela, the Guianas, and Trinidad and Tobago.
