Birdr is better with more birders

Birdr is growing and I’d love it to grow as a community project

Birdr isn’t a company or a commercial app. It’s a free-time volunteer project, built because I enjoy birding, building things, and helping people get better at identifying birds.

It’s 100% free, ad-free and open source, and I’d like to keep it that way.

But there’s a lot to do, and this is where you can help!

You don’t need to be a developer. There are lots of ways to contribute:

Review bird photos

Thousands of images are used in the quizzes, and many still need checking. If you know the birds of a particular country or region, even reviewing a handful of images helps.

Share your bird knowledge

Help improve descriptions of confusing species and lookalike birds. Local birders often know the little details that make the difference.

Test Birdr and give feedback

Found something confusing? A wrong bird? A bug? Or have an idea that would make Birdr better? Please tell me. Honest feedback is incredibly useful.

Help spread the word

Tell your birding friends, share Birdr in your local bird club, Facebook group or WhatsApp group, or mention it in your club's newsletter. The more birders who use Birdr, the more feedback we get and the better it becomes.

Help find partners

Do you know a bird club, conservation organisation, nature education organisation, university, museum, bird observatory or other group that might be interested in Birdr? An introduction would be very welcome.

Support the project

Birdr costs money to run — servers, storage, AI services and other infrastructure all add up. If you or your organisation would like to donate or help cover some of those costs, please get in touch.

Most importantly, you don't have to make a big commitment. Review five photos, report one bad image, suggest an improvement, introduce Birdr to a local bird club, or simply tell another birder about it. It all helps.

I'd love Birdr to become something that isn't just my project, but something birders around the world help build together.

Thank you - and happy birding!
