Reviews: What People Think About Birda – Birding Made Better
A person who likes birds
Rating: 5/5
I dont know what to say. The community is great, the features are great, no massive popup ads… I can’t get enough of it. It seems like even though there’s a diverse audience on Birda, everyone seems to get along great and have a lot of fun. You don’t have to tell everyone about who you are, or get into political matters or do anything stressful on Birda. It’s just an app where you can have fun outdoors and chat with a bunch of nice people that you don’t know but you sort of get to know in a way over time through the way they show themselves on the community. Overall, 10/10 app would recommend to birders of any skill level (being an extremely inexperienced birder myself 😅). Thanks for the great experience, Birda!

I can see the potential for this app, especially for new birders. The ‘gamification’ and badges etc might make for fun challenges for new and old birders.
As someone who has been listing daily on eBird for years I am a lot more in tune with that app and record keeping style. Trying to use eBird with Merlin and then simultaneously keeping up with another similar app in the field is just too much and I personally find it too time consuming and distracting. I’ve given it a few weeks and realized it’s just one more thing I’m staring at on my phone when I should be concentrating on the birds and instead I’m staring at my phone trying to simultaneously keep two accurate lists with different types of data entry.
I may try adding eBird data manually at the end of the week for a bit but eBird has the top billing for accurately maintaining my personal records in an easy to digest format.
It’s a fun addition to the birding space and folks who aren’t big listers or eBird users will surely find it fun and valuable but it’s more of a novelty in my opinion. I do appreciate the effort to introduce another app to liven up birding.

Having used different birding apps for years daily, Birda has easily become my favorite!
Birda has found a way to take key features from other birding apps, list keeping, a top tier bird guide, challenges, and plenty of educational features.
The challenges are fun and unique to Birda! Which really does inspire you to get out and look for birds! You get “Badges” for completing challenges which is fun. You can also set your own challenges for you to complete!
Seeing posts from people all over the world has been very educational.
The list keeping in this app is great! There are photos of the birds next to the name which is great for beginners but also great for experienced birders. Just a click from there and you are brought to a wealth of info on the bird, including the calls! And all within the app! Not only can you see your bird lists but see the amount of time you spent.
The biggest appeal to me has been the social features that make it fun to really “bird nerd out” with other birders and bird watchers... I can only do that so much on other social apps. Here it’s a part of it.
About Birda – Birding Made Better
NATURE IS FOR EVERYONE
With Birda, anyone can get outside, identify and record the birds they see, and share them with a fun and inclusive community. Modern life pushes us away from nature. Start pushing back.
Birda is not your typical bird identifier app, it also connects the global community of birders irrespective of how they already record their sightings! Simply sync or import your records from eBird, Merlin Bird ID, iNaturalist, Birdtrack, Birdlasser, and more to get started.
Stay motivated by joining challenges and making new friends! Don’t know a bird? Use the global field guide or tap into the community and use HI (Human Intelligence) to identify what you have seen - and grow your birdwatching & ID knowledge faster. Help protect nature by turning birding into a fun adventure. All with the help of the Birda app. Cool, right?
WHO IS BIRDA FOR?
Birda is a bird app & community for anyone curious about nature and birds, no matter your level of knowledge or previous bird watching experience. We want to help you enjoy birds, so you are inspired to fight to protect them. If you like fun & nature, Birda is for you!
Have fun using your smartphone as a powerful tool to help conservationists protect a myriad of bird species. To get started:
1. Download Birda!
2. Head out, head up.
3. Log your bird sightings - one at a time or multiple sightings as part of a birding session.
CITIZEN SCIENCE
Your bird sightings have a direct impact on helping conservation, so all that time in nature is good not only for you but also for the planet. Birda sends all of the sightings data it collects to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) so that scientists can use it to understand more about the world’s bird species and their habitats.
YOU CAN ALSO:
• Use AI to identify bird species in photos
• Find birding locations & the bird species that occur there
• Use the field guide to identify what you have seen with reference images and bird calls
• Set birding goals
• Get bird identification suggestions from the community
• Help the community as a bird identifier
• Unlock achievement badges
• Take part in challenges
• Automatically create bird life lists
• See what birds other users have spotted
• Log sightings even when you’re offline
• Choose from multiple taxonomies (IOC, Clements & Birdlife HBW)
IMPORTS & EXPORTS
If you are coming from another platform, then there is no better way to get started than to import your records to Birda. We currently support imports from eBird, iNaturalist, Birdtrack and Birdlasser, with more coming soon. If you want to move your records to another platform, you are free to export all of your sightings from Birda.
LIFE LISTS
Birda automatically creates life lists of all the birds you've imported or recorded on Birda. Birda automatically generates sub-level lists based on time and geographic location. For example, you can see all your bird ticks for the last month or year and your home and patch lists (regions, countries, states/provinces & nature reserves coming soon!).
TAXONOMY
We understand that taxonomy can be complicated! This is especially true when people are trying to compare species across taxonomic authorities. For this reason, we built an industry-first solution to simplify taxonomy for our users. Our taxonomic engine makes taxonomy seamless, allowing users to view each other’s bird sightings in their taxonomy of choice, irrespective of what is being used by other users.
PRIVACY
You can choose to create a privacy zone around your address to hide the location of your garden sightings. Set up your home location, and Birda will also automatically create Home Lists and Patch lists for all the sightings you post within your Home and Patch boundaries. You have full control over what posts and GPS coordinates you share with others on Birda.
