Have you ever spotted an intriguing bird but didn't have a camera ready, or missed the opportunity to capture a photo? Birda’s new AI Text Identification feature is here to help. This innovative tool allows you to identify bird species using just a detailed, natural-language description, just like explaining your sighting to a bird expert.
How Does AI Text Identification Work?
Simply enter a description of the bird you've encountered into Birda. Describe the bird’s physical characteristics in detail, such as color, size, markings, and behaviors. Including the habitat or environment in your description can further refine the results. If you have a sense of the bird's family or category (like "raptor" or "waterfowl"), mentioning this can significantly narrow down your search results.
Supported Regions
The AI Text Identification feature currently supports bird species from:
North America
Europe
Southern Africa
Australia
When you search, Birda intelligently considers your location. This means the results provided will only include bird species that naturally occur where you reported your sighting, ensuring accurate and relevant suggestions.
Easy and Integrated Access
The AI Text Identification is conveniently integrated into Birda’s existing interfaces:
Field guide search
Add sightings species search
Session species search
You won’t need to switch apps or navigate complicated menus—the feature is seamlessly built into the Birda experience, making bird identification quick and intuitive.
How Search Results Are Prioritized
Birda’s search intelligently blends results from two sources:
Localised Species Database: If you already know the bird’s name and enter it directly, Birda quickly pulls accurate, region-specific results.
AI Text Classification Model: When you input a descriptive text search, Birda engages the AI model to match your description to the most likely species.
This combined search capability offers unmatched ease and accuracy, revolutionizing how birders identify and learn about birds.
Why It Matters
Before AI Text Identification, identifying an unknown bird often meant navigating complex species guides, consulting experts, or using cumbersome identification tools requiring detailed selections (size, beak shape, color). Now, with the familiar ease of natural-language searching—much like using Google—you can quickly and accurately identify birds. The more detail you provide, the better Birda’s AI can match your description to the right species.
Looking Ahead
Birda continues to enhance this AI feature, aiming for even greater accuracy. Expansion plans are already underway, intending to cover additional regions globally.
