Birdnet-go is a real-time sound analyzer that detects bird species. It can take in audio from microphones. I set mine up to stream audio from my security cameras that I already had installed. There’s even a Home Assistant App, if you’re using it.
I live in a more suburban/semi-urban environment, but was really surprised to so many different bird species.

OMG, birdnet-go is amazing. I had setup birdnet-pi, till an update to either docker or birdnet-pi broke it.
Now using birdnet-go and the stats are insane, this is just the last week <img alt="" src="https://lemmy.horwood.cloud/pictrs/image/309771bd-7a42-4d11-adcf-604e086b1734.png">
Nice. What kind of microphone setup do you have? I’m just starting with security cameras because I have those, but the audio quality is ehh.
Like you, using my security cameras. Riolink seems to have the loudest audio of the 2 I use. The other is a Unifi UVC G3 I had from work
My mom loves this so I build some additional microphones using github.com/Sukecz/ESP32-birdnet-mic and by 3d printing some casing for it to keep bugs out.
Someone share this with the bird voyeurs.
How does this compare to merlin? I dont currently have any reason to distrust the cornell university department of ornithology… but if they ever turn evil its good to know there’s a backup
Yeah, Merlin has been my go-to forever.
Ditch the AI slop logo, please.
Xale, the logo is pretty, on topic and quite cute. Is it made with AI? No idea. Does it really matter?
Give open source projects a break will you?
If you don’t like the logo just say so.
It is AI. 2min doodle would be better than this
I still like it and i have seen projects with much uglier logos made by humans. Nothing against humans or AI either.
An ugly logo made by a human wasn’t made by stealing from artists and contributing to a climate crisis.
Unless you want to argue that simply being alive is contributing to the climate crisis, I sure hope you don’t eat meat.
They did express their displeasure. Even said please
That’s true…
That’s literally what I did.
I guess if you spend enough time chatting with sparkling autocomplete you forget how real conversations work.
🔗 AI Logo
🔗 and probably everything else too
🔗 Including the readme
*Takes a look at the first three folders*
.agents/skills.claude/skills.cursor/rulesYep…
The maintainer of the project probably won’t see it here, but that repo does appear to be fairly active, they’ve got thousands of merged PRs. If you contribute a better logo they might replace the AI one.
Rule 7+8
Let this post be the one to ask a question that’s been bothering me (not a coder):
This and similar claims in other software suggest - to me - that the AI is running locally on the raspi, no need to exchange data with sites providing AI APIs or whatever.
I struggle to believe that this is possible, let alone on a raspi.
So, how “local” ar the AIs that help more and more software with various tasks?
Is “local AI” some sort of selling point that is often false or deliberately misleading? “Localwashing”?
I haven’t verified it, but it local ML models on audio is pretty efficient and should run fine on a raspberry pi.
There is also this similar software, which is a little clunky but not slop github.com/Nachtzuster/BirdNET-Pi
