How bird identification works
1
Take a photo
Spot a bird at the feeder, in the park, or on a walk, point your phone at it, and snap it in the app. The clearer the photo, the better the match.
2
Get an instant match
Snappit identifies the bird by photo and shows its name, scientific name, habitat, and fun facts written for young readers.
3
Collect the card
Every bird you identify becomes a collectible card with a rarity tier. Complete bird collections, earn badges, and hunt for rare visitors.
