Bird sound identification
Recognize the bird's voice - get help identifying bird sounds
Do you know it? You're taking a walk in the forest, enjoying the silence and the sounds of nature - and suddenly you hear a bird singing. The sound is beautiful, maybe even new to you. But which bird is hiding behind the trees and singing so beautifully? The bird may never show itself, and you're left with the question: What kind of bird was that?
It can be incredibly difficult to tell the difference between the many different sounds of birds. Even experienced birdwatchers can have doubts, because some birds sound very similar, and many also change their calls and songs depending on the season and situation. That's why we've created a solution that makes it easier for you to get answers - quickly and easily.
With our bird sound identification service, you can send a recording of a bird you've heard and get an answer as to what species it is. All it requires is your mobile phone and a moment's attention. You just make a recording of the sound - as a video or audio file - and upload it to this page. We will analyze the recording and send you a response within a short time. In the response, you will receive both the name of the bird and a picture of it, so that you can easily recognize it in the future.
You don't need to think about file formats or technical requirements. We support all common audio and video formats, and our system handles the technical aspects for you. It should be easy and accessible to everyone - regardless of whether you are a beginner or a bird expert.
In order for us to give you the most accurate answer, it is important that the recording is as clear and focused as possible. Therefore, try to record only one bird at a time - preferably when there is as little background noise as possible. Please avoid recordings with many different birds, as this can make it difficult for us to determine which sound you would like to have identified. For example, if you hear a bird choir, we recommend that you try recording again at a time when one bird is singing alone.
Our goal is to make it easy and fun to learn about bird calls. Nature becomes an even richer experience when you can put names and faces to the ones you meet in the treetops. With our service, you get a useful tool in your pocket – a kind of personal bird guide that is always with you on your trip.
So the next time you hear an unknown bird singing, just take out your phone and record the sound. Upload it here – and we will take care of the rest. Before long, you will have the answer and have learned a little more about the nature around you.
