"Birda has completely changed my morning walks! It's like the Strava of birding—I love earning achievement badges and seeing what my friends are spotting in the area. The AI identifier is incredibly helpful for a beginner like me, and knowing my sightings help global conservation efforts makes every walk feel meaningful."

"I've used several birding apps over the years, but Birda is by far the most polished. The ability to import my existing records from eBird was a game-changer. The interface is intuitive, the community is supportive rather than intimidating, and the taxonomic engine is top-notch for keeping my life list organized."
