## What is All Birds Colombia field guide?

*** Planning to go bird watching in Colombia? Then this is the app for you. This app fills a gap in the region and is the only serious bird app available for Colombia. It is based on the renowned reference work of the Helm Guide Series "Birds of Northern South America" by Robin Restall, Clemencia Rodner, and Miguel Lentino. The creation of apps from the book is a co-production between Bloomsbury Plc. and Sunbird Images. The app contains 5,600 illustrations and more than 4,000 bird songs and calls in total. *** 

*** Dutch Birding Journal writes: 

"Would I recommend this app to anyone going on a birding trip to Colombia or one of the other countries in Northern South America? For sure! ..., you will be provided with a load of information, a nearly complete set of bird sounds and a few useful tools and features for use in the field for relatively low money." ***


This app is part of the Sunbird Images BLUE LABEL series. Our BLUE LABEL series are top notch digital field guides which provide the most comprehensive data available for a region or taxon. They stand for completeness including even the very rare species and vagrants which have only been recorded once or a few times in a region. Even the rare species are illustrated and described in detail featured with a full species account.

No other bird app for this region offers the following:

- Includes all 1,889 Colombian bird species including all vagrants
- 5,600 illustrations from the Helm Guide Series "Birds of Northern South America" 
- Covers all subspecies + geographic, age and sex variations
- 4,054 bird songs and calls
- Most advanced Compare Mode of any bird app - compare up to 16 species images / songs / maps

- Create sighting lists on a map via GPS and sort by place, date, group, and name

Colombia is the “Land of Birds” with vast natural richness and a number of natural superlatives. With its nearly 1,900 species it covers about 20 % of the world's bird species population with 78 endemic species covered in this app. 

Choose between 6 bird name languages: 
English, Spanish, French, Dutch, German, Latin

Narrow species down by foot colour, bill shape, tail length etc. leading to the bird searched for plus a choice of similar species. You can also look for fragments of a species name – the search for “finch“ shows all the species which include the word “finch“ in the species’ name.

***A graphically well-designed layout – easy to use with large lettering.*** 

"All Birds Colombia" is very well suited for keeping personalised bird watch lists.

### 5/5 — Really useful App for Colombia birds

*2026-01-29, version 2.2*

It's very smooth on the newest apple system vision. All illustrations are accurate.

### 5/5 — Comprehensive

*2025-11-10, version 2.2*

Very comprehensive and provides valuable insights for bird identification

### 5/5 — All Birds Columbia field guide

*2025-02-26, version 2.2*

I am traveling to Barranquilla Colombia for Birdwatching. This app has very good, illustrations and accompanying for descriptions. I believe this will be an asset in identifying and studying the birds of Columbia South America.

### 2/5 — Not ready for prime time

*2024-11-27*

The illustrations were not useful in the field. Colours are not clear enough. A single low quality drawing per bird is not helpful enough. The maps were okay and the songs/calls seem okay, but did not use them in the field. The biggest issue is that there are nearly 2000 birds and there is no way to show just the birds in a region. It is painfully slow trying to sort thru 150 hummers or 140 flycatchers. Even breaking it down by province or state would help. Thank goodness our guide had a really good field guide forColombia

### 1/5 — Search mechanism needs to be updated

*2024-01-15*

I had high hopes for this app, but found it difficult to use. It has an amazing catalogue of bird species with lots of useful information on each bird, but the search mechanism makes it difficult to find anything. A few changes would greatly improve the functionality. First , the filter mechanism should start with the most important and basic details, like bird size and primary overall colors. Second, as the user adds  variables to the filter, it should narrow the choices, not expand them. The more specific the user is, the fewer choices they should see. The way it currently functions, if you put in 3 variables, you end up with over 1,000 options to search through, which will include birds of ALL sizes. It makes it impossible to identify birds you’re unfamiliar with.

### 4/5 — Excellent paintings

*2024-01-14*

Very good photos and tons of supporting information for everyone of the 1700+ birds in Columbia. Very thorough well organized but still much slower to use for me than a bird book but I am pretty new to using Bird apps. Does not have filters for parts of the country. The author wrote one of a few excellent bird books about Columbia, but it’s out of print and cost $80 if you can find it.

### 5/5 — Still using

*2024-01-09, version 2.2*

It’s been eight years since I was in Colombia. I still use the app to try to figure out what some of the birds I saw were. It’s a great birding companion. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2023-11-15, version 2.1*

Easy to use and to jump to a specific species quickly.  Audio files for most species with sonograms.  Excellent artwork for identification showing multiple variations for certain species.

### 5/5 — Excellent app with detailed info about Colombia birds

*2023-10-11*

I was hesitant to spend so much on an app but this app has extensive info about the birds of Colombia with songs/calls, maps, status info, habita, sim species and even sorting methods that let you narrow by endemics plus eng latin and spanish names. So worth it!

### 5/5 — easy to use

*2023-09-18, version 2.1*

the app is easy to use. some of the drawings are a little silly but they’re accurate so it’s fine.
