Why birders choose BirdUp Australia
Built for Australian birding.
Built for you.
Never miss a moment
A Spotted Pardalote won’t wait while you navigate menus. Tap, log, done. The sighting is saved and you’re back on the bird in seconds.
850+ species. Serious depth.
Every Australian species gets a full profile: identification tips, field marks, calls, habitat, diet and measurements, built from Australian data sources like the Atlas of Living Australia.
Works where the birds are
The best birding spots have the worst reception. The whole field guide lives on your phone, and sightings log offline and sync themselves when you’re back in range.
Identify with confidence
What bird is that?
Snap a photo and BirdUp Australia suggests the species. Every suggestion is weighted by where you are and the time of year, so you choose between birds that are actually around, not lookalikes from the other side of the country. You make the final call. It's your list.

The difference
Built different
Most birding apps adapt global data for Australia as an afterthought. BirdUp Australia was built from scratch with Australian-first data, Australian taxonomy, and features designed for how birding actually works here.
01
Australian-first data
Species profiles built from Australian sources like the Atlas of Living Australia, with Australian taxonomy and common names. Region-aware and seasonally accurate, because a field guide for this continent shouldn't be a global database relabelled.
02
Offline by design
The full field guide lives on your phone, and sightings save locally and sync when you're back in range. Offline isn't an error state in BirdUp Australia. It's where the app expects to be used.
03
AI that knows where it's standing
Photo identification weighted by your location and the month, so suggestions come from birds that actually occur around you. You confirm every call. The AI assists, it doesn't decide.
04
Seasonal species tracking
BirdUp Australia tells you what's breeding, departing and arriving in your area this month. Every walk starts with a briefing, so you know what to look for before you leave the house.
05
The bird comes first
A once-in-a-lifetime sighting happens in seconds. BirdUp Australia gets out of your way so you can stay in the moment, not stuck in an app.
06
Safe for the birds
Locations of threatened species are automatically obscured, and any sighting can be kept private. A rare bird on your list should never become a map pin for the wrong person to follow.
The numbers
A field guide built from the
ground up
Australian species

Australian taxonomy
Built around Australian common names and classification from the ground up
Species data compiled from Australia's authoritative sources, including the Atlas of Living Australia, the IOC World Bird List and XenoCanto call recordings, with every source attributed in the app.
Conservation
Every sighting, handled with care.
Birding data matters for conservation, and so does protecting the birds behind it. BirdUp Australia automatically obscures the locations of threatened species, and we're working toward sharing sighting data with researchers and citizen science programs, so the birds you log can one day help the people protecting them.
