Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be good at identifying birds?

No. Bird Passport is for everyone. If you’re not sure what you saw, you can still log it. You'll start noticing differences the more you watch and log sightings!

What if I don’t see a bird in the list?

That’s okay. You can still add it — Bird Passport isn’t meant to be restrictive.

Is Bird Passport scientific or official?

No. Bird Passport is a hobby-focused project meant for enjoyment, not formal research.

Is Bird Passport free?

Yes. Core features are free. Optional ways to support the project may be added in the future.

Can I use Bird Passport casually?

Absolutely. There’s no “right way” to use it.
