About World Bird Guide
The BBI Bird Guide is the only free World Bird Guide available on Google Play.
• Locate
Select any region in the world, and The BBI World Bird Guide will present you with a list of the most popular species observed within the selected region (defaulting to a 50km radius, auto-expanding outwards until a species is found).
• Learn
Learn about each species, with the latest, most up-to-date resources automatically located & displayed, including:
• Detailed Articles
• Birdwatching Videos
• Stunning HD Images (With Set Wallpaper Option)
• Option to Explore Additional Resources
Presented in an intuitive, friendly format.
The months in which each species has been observed in the selected region is displayed in a miniature graph at the base of each thumbnail (with the current month coloured in green). From this, it can be instantly determined if a species is an all-year resident, or just a summer/winter visitor.
The BBI World Bird Guide is backed by a comprehensive citizen-science database spanning several decades, featuring over 150 million observations of almost 10,000 bird species (last updated Aug 2015 - please see http://www.ebird.org for more information).
The Bird Brook Institute (BBI) is an organization dedicated to promoting free, collaborative bird knowledge.

Great app. Would give it 5 stars if you could link it to a wikipedia with your chosen language. e.g. Norwegian, Swedish and so on.

Love the functionality, but the search radius is too large, and the bird thumbnail photos are too small and covered by too much text.

Anyone else using a Samsung Galaxy S5 and noticed it just says it's loading all the time? This was working fine for quite some time and now it's stopped working. It was awesome but I don't know now.

I may as well look up the birds on Google. This app literally takes Wikipedia articles and adds them to bird identifications, then calls it a description. For videos, it searches for the bird on YouTube and says, "Hey, you do the rest." It's just crap. I would rate 1 star, but people tend to read 2-star ratings more than 1-star ratings, so that's what I chose.

The app is good. However, the 50 km radius doesn't seem to be working outside US / NA. I am based in Mumbai, India, but the app shows the entire Maharashtra, India, which is closer to 500-600 km rather than 50. The last sighting dates also gives an erroneous idea about the rarity of the species. For example, last sightings of pigeons in Mumbai, India of pigeons are dated 2013. For someone new to the area, the hordes of pigeons seen every minute will seem like a remarkable resurgence of a species which has not been seen for the last 2 years! I would suggest the last sighting be removed for relatively numerous birds, or birds not under any endangered list. Also, improvement in geographical location would be great help. I would still give 4 stars to this app, the above two points resulting in dropping a star.

This is supposed to help you see what's been spotted nearby and when. The app doesn't show any spotting for any bird after August 30 2015.

However, last seen dates not very recent (more than 6 months ago). Would be nice to have French & English names for the province of Quebec.

This app is very helpful when traveling, because birds are sorted by frequency of sightings in a specific area. Yesterday the app enabled me to immediately identify an unfamiliar warbler in Florida. Otherwise, I would have been searching through all the possibilities in the book. I look forward to using this on a Europe trip. I hope they enhance the app to include word searches and filtering by season. I wouldn't currently want it as my primary birding app, but it's a great supplemental tool.

Even having looked at local birds, a few minutes later I had no signal and tried again, but the app showed nothing beyond the map. If it would at least save what you've looked at, that would help.

Wow, very impressed with detailed info of one bird I tested. Only way can improve is to add songs / calls of the bird.
