How can computers learn to recognize birds from sounds? The Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the Chemnitz University of Technology are trying to find an answer to this question. Our research is mainly focused on the detection and classification of avian sounds using machine learning – we want to assist experts and citizen scientist in their work of monitoring and protecting our birds. BirdNET is a research platform that aims at recognizing birds by sound at scale. We support various hardware and operating systems such as Arduino microcontrollers, the Raspberry Pi, smartphones, web browsers, workstation PCs, and even cloud services. BirdNET is a citizen science platform as well as an analysis software for extremely large collections of audio. BirdNET aims to provide innovative tools for conservationists, biologists, and birders alike.
This page features some of our public demonstrations, including a live stream demo, a demo for the analysis of audio recordings, an Android and iOS app, and its visualization of submissions. All demos are based on an artificial neural network we call BirdNET. We are constantly improving the features and performance of our demos – please make sure to check back with us regularly.
We are currently featuring 984 of the most common species of North America and Europe. We will add more species and more regions in the near future. Click here for the list of supported species.

Have you ever heard a bird sound you couldn't ID? Learn how to use our BirdNET smartphone app to identify your mystery birds on a trip through Sapsucker Woods!
Learn how to identify birds by sound with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's free BirdNET mobile app and website. Advances in machine learning are making it easier to identify birds by their sounds. Q&A with BirdNET developer Stefan Kahl.

The live stream demo processes a live audio stream from a microphone outside the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, located in the Sapsucker Woods sanctuary in Ithaca, New York. This demo features an artificial neural network trained on the 180 most common species of the Sapsucker Woods area. Our system splits the audio stream into segments, converts those segments into spectrograms (visual representations of the audio signal) and passes the spectrograms through a convolutional neural network, all in near-real-time. The web page accumulates the species probabilities of the last five seconds into one prediction. If the probability for one species reaches 15% or higher, you can see a marker indicating an estimated position of the corresponding sound in the scrolling spectrogram of the live stream. This demo is intended for large screens.

Reliable identification of bird species in recorded audio files would be a transformative tool for researchers, conservation biologists, and birders. This demo provides a web interface for the upload and analysis of audio recordings. Based on an artificial neural network featuring almost 1,000 of the most common species of North America and Europe, this demo shows the most probable species for every second of the recording. Please note: We need to transfer the audio recordings to our servers in order to process the files. This demo is intended for large screens.

This app lets you record a file using the internal microphone of your Android or iOS device and an artificial neural network will tell you the most probable bird species present in your recording. We use the native sound recording feature of smartphones and tablets as well as the GPS-service to make predictions based on location and date. Give it a try! Please note: We need to transfer the audio recordings to our servers in order to process the files. Recording quality may vary depending on your device. External microphones will probably increase the recording quality.
Note: We consider our app a prototype and by no means a final product. If you encounter any instabilities or have any question regarding the functionality, please let us know. We will add new features in the near future, you will receive all updates automatically.
