How does it work in noisy environments?

Birdy's algorithms are designed to filter background noise and isolate birdsong even in urban environments or near roads. The recognition quality can vary depending on the level of noise.

Is real-time data accessible?

Yes, all data collected by Birdy is available in real time on the XNatura platform. You can view the detected species, listen to the recordings, and analyze trends over time.

Does Birdy work at night?

Absolutely yes. Birdy records 24 hours a day and can detect nocturnal species such as owls, little owls, and other nocturnal raptors. Night recording is essential for a complete census of the avifauna.
