Why Use a Browser Extension for Bird Identification?

Bird watching is a hobby that requires patience and practice. Usually, we rely on field guides or mobile apps when we are out in nature. However, for most of us, the majority of our day is spent in front of a computer screen.

This is where BirdTab changes the game. By integrating bird identification into your daily browsing workflow, you turn "dead time" between tasks into micro-learning opportunities. Over the course of a week, you might open hundreds of new tabs. Imagine if each one helped you recognize a Northern Cardinal, a Blue Jay, or a Red-tailed Hawk.

Whether you are a beginner looking to learn common backyard birds or an experienced birder brushing up on exotic species, a Chrome extension offers the most seamless way to keep your passion alive during the workday.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I choose which birds to see?

Does this work offline?

BirdTab caches images so it works even with a spotty connection, though some features might need internet access.

Is it free?

Yes, BirdTab is completely free to use.

Hands down the most calming Chrome extension. I shifted from Safari to Chrome for this. It is always so nice to start your work day and be greeted by a cute little bird chirping. And every time I come across a bird on a new tab that I have had the chance to spot before, I get a really nice dopamine boost.
