Is Birdr free? Does it identify birds from a photo? Where can I play?
Support Birdr
Birdr is free, open source, and built in spare time. There is no funding behind it right now. A GitHub sponsorship helps cover hosting and AI credits so the quiz can stay free.
Donating is one way. If you have another idea for how to fund Birdr—a partnership, a grant, a club, a company—write to info@birdr.pro. I would like to talk.
