What Can You Identify?

Any Bird, Anywhere

Our AI can identify any bird species worldwide — from garden favourites like robins and blue tits to raptors, waders, and seabirds. For 750+ species we also link directly to in-depth Birdfact guide pages.

Tips for Best Results

  • Use a clear, well-lit photo
  • Side profiles work best for field-mark matching
  • Include habitat context when possible
  • Multiple birds in one shot? We handle that too

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the AI bird identifier free to use?
Yes — everyone gets free identifications each month. Anonymous visitors can try one identification without signing up. Free accounts get three per month. Birdfact+ members enjoy unlimited identifications.
How accurate is the identification?
Our AI can identify any bird species worldwide and provides a confidence rating with every result. For medium- or low-confidence matches, it will suggest alternative species so you can compare field marks. For 750+ species we also link directly to in-depth guide pages.
What makes a good photo for identification?
Clear, well-lit photos showing the bird's body, head, and plumage work best. Side profiles are ideal. Photos that include habitat context can also improve accuracy. The AI can even identify multiple birds in a single image.
Can I save my identifications?
Absolutely. Create a free account to save identifications as sightings, build your life list, and access follow-up information about each species — including diet, calls, breeding habits, and more.
