## What is Featherly Bird ID?

Every bird you spot has a story — Featherly helps you identify it, log it, and share it.

FREE AI BIRD ID
Snap a photo or upload one from your camera roll, and Featherly's AI instantly identifies the species. It's completely free for everyone — no account, no subscription, no trial. Just point, shoot, and know.

BUILD YOUR BIRDDEX
Every identification is automatically logged into your personal BirdDex, a searchable regional field guide of 260+ species across North America, the UK, Europe, and Australia. Each entry includes real photos, field-guide descriptions, and call notes, so your collection doubles as a learning tool.

WIN PHOTO OF THE MONTH
Enter your best shots into the monthly Photo of the Month contest and let the community vote. The winning photo takes over the home page, giving top spotters their moment in the spotlight.

JOIN YOUR FLOCK
Connect with friends, compare sightings, and climb national and global spotter leaderboards. Birding is better together — see who's spotting what, and how you stack up.

STAY INSPIRED
Daily birding prompts nudge you outside and give you something new to look for, while your personal sightings journal keeps a running record of every bird you've encountered.

Bird identification is free for everyone. Featherly Premium unlocks the community features — the monthly photo contest, flock friends, and the leaderboards — and helps keep Featherly growing.
