BirdNET-Analyzer is an open-source application for processing audio recordings and detecting bird species based on their vocalizations using BirdNET machine learning models. It is designed for scientific and large-scale acoustic monitoring workflows, but can also analyze individual audio files.

Key Features

  • Batch processing for large collections of audio recordings
  • Species identification from bird calls and songs using pre-trained BirdNET models
  • Tools and scripts oriented toward scientific acoustic analysis workflows
  • Cross-platform usage (Linux, Windows, macOS)
  • Packaging and distribution options including Python tooling and container-based deployment

Use Cases

  • Biodiversity and avian diversity monitoring from field recorder datasets
  • Automated bird call screening for ecological research and surveys
  • Processing single recordings to obtain candidate species detections

Limitations and Considerations

  • Model files may have separate licensing terms (commonly non-commercial/share-alike for models)
  • Detection quality depends on recording conditions, geography, and model coverage

BirdNET-Analyzer is a practical choice for researchers and practitioners who need repeatable, scalable analysis of bioacoustic datasets. It focuses on enabling reliable bird-vocalization identification workflows without requiring extensive software engineering experience.
