Read full description

AviBreed is a complete bird breeding and flock management app built for dedicated breeders. Keep your birds, breeding records, health history, diets, annual breeding cycle, reminders, and daily tasks organized in one convenient place. Create detailed bird profiles with photos, species, breed, color, feather type, ring and cage information, breeder details, purchase records, awards, and notes. Maintain reusable catalogs for species, species-linked breeds, colors, and feather types. Record mating activity, manage clutches and eggs, calculate expected hatch dates, register chicks, connect offspring to their parents, and track ringing and expected weaning milestones. AviBreed preserves family relationships so you can follow each bird’s lineage over time. Plan your annual breeding cycle using an interactive timeline. Define each phase’s dates, lighting schedule, humidity target, and day and night temperature targets. Create ingredients and diets, schedule feeding by date range and weekday, or plan diets relative to hatch dates. Stay informed with reminders for feeding schedules, expected hatching, chick ringing, weaning, and other breeding activities. Search, filter, and sort your flock, then review clear and printable reports. Connect supported ESPHome e-paper displays to show live cage summaries or today’s and tomorrow’s feeding calendar. Displays can be refreshed individually from the controller’s web interface. Home Assistant can securely retrieve the active breeding phase’s lighting times, humidity target, and day and night temperature targets for use in your automations. Connect the ChatGPT breeding assistant through OAuth to update breeding cycles, diets, ingredients, and species when requested. It can also review bird records and photos to provide read-only pairing advice. Records created or updated through the assistant are clearly identified as AI-assisted. AviBreed securely synchronizes your account across devices, allowing you to manage your flock from your phone or through the web at https://www.avibreed.com. Need help managing your flock?
