One stays home.
The yard listener identifies birds on a Raspberry Pi paired with a microphone. While you go about your day, it keeps a record of the visitors sharing your little patch of the world.

The world outside.
A little more familiar.
That song outside your window belongs to someone. We help you get to know them.
Birds Heard turns a passing sound into a name, a portrait, and a story you can keep following. Familiar visitors. Unexpected guests. A growing connection to the place you call home.
START WITH CURIOSITY
You don’t need to know birds.
Just notice one.
A morning chorus can sound like background noise until you recognize a voice. Then you start noticing who returns, who arrives with the season, and who you haven’t heard in a while. Birds Heard gives those little moments somewhere to belong.
One comes along.
The iPhone app identifies birds right on your phone. Your discoveries join your atlas and map, bringing the birds you meet along the way into the same growing field guide.
iPhone app · beta awaiting Apple approvalYour discoveries. Your choice.
Bird identification happens on your device. Saving sound clips is optional, and public yard pages do not share audio.
