Bird Song NZ

Discover the birds of Aotearoa New Zealand by their song. Bird Song NZ listens to the wild around you and identifies native birds in real time — just like Shazam, but for birds. Hold your phone near a bird call, tap Listen, and watch as our AI recognises what's singing. **LISTEN & IDENTIFY** Our continuous live detection records short audio clips and analyses them instantly using BirdNET, one of the world's leading bird sound recognition systems. Birds appear on screen as they're detected, ranked by confidence. **LEARN MORE** Tap any detected bird for a full profile including: • Habitat and range across New Zealand • Size, weight and appearance • Conservation status (DOC classification) • Te Reo Māori name and cultural significance • A reference call recording so you can compare • Best spots in NZ to hear the bird **FIELD GUIDE** Browse all 150+ NZ species in our built-in field guide. Search by English name, Te Reo Māori name, or family. Filter by DOC conservation status. **NEAR ME** See what birds have been spotted near your location recently, powered by eBird — the world's largest bird observation database. **LOGBOOK** Every bird you identify is saved to your personal logbook with location and time. Sign in to sync your logbook across all your devices. **BUILT FOR AOTEAROA** Bird Song NZ is designed specifically for New Zealand's unique birdlife — from the iconic Tūī and Kererū to the endangered Kōkako and Kiwi. Every profile includes Te Reo Māori names and notes on the bird's significance in Te Ao Māori. Works best outdoors in native bush. Get within a few metres of the bird for the best results.
