About this app

How can computers learn to recognize birds from sounds? The BirdNET research project uses artificial intelligence and neural networks to train computers to identify more than 3,000 of the most common species worldwide. You can record a file using the microphone of your Android device and see if BirdNET correctly identifies the probable bird species present in your recording. Get to know the birds around you and help us to collect observations by submitting your recordings.

BirdNET is a joint project of the K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and Chemnitz University of Technology.

It's a great app, but it lacks backup functionality, either locally or via the cloud, leaving recordings vulnerable to data loss. Scrolling through recordings beyond 30 seconds is impossible, making it frustrating to analyze data outside that timeframe despite the option to record longer. Selecting the entire 30-second spectrogram is also difficult on modern phones, as touching the far left or right edges triggers Android’s navigation gestures, making precise selection impossible.

I've had this app for a few years without any issues. Suddenly, 4/3/25, I'm having issues, and the app responds with "Sorry, we are having technical problems. Please try again in a few minutes.". It's been going on for hours now!! Disappointed..

Could be better. detection works fine but not in real time like Merlin Bird ID. Did not detect all the birds. My location has around 16 birds. I detected only the loudest!
