Different species of birds' calls are unique from one another, and the Songbird app helps people to identify those as well as the birds themselves can. The app labels itself as the "Shazam for bird calls," using artificially intelligent audio recognition to analyze any bird's call and identify it correctly.
Birdwatching, or birding as its known to those who participate in it, is a relaxing and wholesome way to spend a day out in nature. However, much of birding doesn't actually involve seeing the birds at all -- ears are as important as eyes in that regard. The Songbird app lowers the barrier for entry into the pleasant hobby, helping anyone with avian interests to join in.
