Made for the joy of finding things

Wholesome, playful, and outside.

Real birds, really identified

On-device AI handles the core photo identification experience, with optional enhanced analysis when you want a second look.

Designed around privacy

Your exact capture locations stay visible only to you. Shared sightings use a randomized approximate area.

Fair by design

Money never buys birds. birb is a collection game where the best finds still come from getting out and looking.
