Hey Zooniverse bird nerds (and bird newbies), we need you!

We are excited to announce the launch of . Use your ears can help advance bird research!

This project contains audio data that was scanned by artificial intelligence (AI) that makes guesses about what bird species it might hear. But here’s the thing, this AI is not perfect: sometimes it’s spot on, other times horribly off base. That’s where you come in. Chirp Check invites volunteers to listen to short audio clips and determine when the AI got it right or missed the mark. Your input could have a big impact on avian science, especially when it comes to understanding bird life in urban areas.

No bird experience? No problem!

You don’t need to be a seasoned birder to join the Chirp Check flock. The AI has already made a guess; your job is simply to decide if it sounds right. The project has plenty of easy-to-follow learning materials to guide you along the way. Who knows? You might even find yourself becoming a bird song expert before you know it.

Please lend your ears and consider giving Chirp Check a try:

Happy classifying!

Alisa & the Zooniverse Team
