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 only species of cockatoo native to the Solomon Islands archipelago.
The bird possesses a short, rounded crest that it typically keeps flat against its head unless alarmed or excited.
While the plumage appears stark white, the undersides of the wings and tail feathers exhibit a subtle sulfur-yellow wash.
They are highly social birds, frequently seen foraging in noisy flocks of up to 20 individuals in the forest canopy.
Nesting occurs in tree hollows, where both parents share the responsibility of incubating the two to three eggs.

Habitat

Lowland tropical rainforests, secondary growth, mangroves, and occasionally coconut plantations.

Range

Endemic to the Solomon Islands archipelago (excluding Makira and the Santa Cruz Islands).
