Birdfy Makes Bird Species Identification Free for Life, Giving Backyard Birdwatchers One Less Subscription to Worry About
There’s something satisfying about spotting an unfamiliar bird in your backyard, but figuring out exactly what you’re looking at isn’t always easy. Birdfy has been helping people identify their feathered visitors through its connected bird feeders, birdhouses, and bird baths, though automatic species identification previously cost extra. That’s changing on November 2, 2026, as Birdfy makes its Bird ID feature free for life for both new and existing customers. With unlimited automatic identification of more than 6,000 bird species, the update removes a recurring expense from one of smart birdwatching’s most appealing features.
