## What is Burd?

Burd: Bird ID Made Simple

Point your camera at a bird and know what it is, right then and there. Burd is a bird identification app built for people who just want to know what they're looking at, no fuss required.

Most birding apps make you snap a photo, upload it, and wait. Burd is different. Our live photo identifier works in real time, so you can pan around and get an ID the moment you spot something interesting. Prefer to go by ear? Burd's sound ID listens for calls and songs and tells you who's singing.

While you're out in the field, Burd quietly saves your photos to your camera roll so you can build out your journal once your walk is done. No need to log GPS coordinates or field notes on the spot. Just enjoy the moment, and fill in the details later if you want to.

Every bird you spot gets a home in your journal. Keep it private, or share it. Burd gives you a public profile where you can post sightings for the world to see, or keep things cozy and share with friends only. As you log more species, you'll earn badges and unlock species cards for your collection, a fun way to track your progress as a birder.

Whether you're a lifelong birder or just curious about the bird outside your window, Burd makes identifying and remembering birds easy.

Features:

Live photo ID, no upload and wait
Sound ID for calls and songs
