Add a photo
Upload your bird photos to iNaturalist or Wikimedia Commons under an open licence. BeakBrain draws its images from these open sources, so a photo you share there can reach the whole community.
Add a recording
Upload bird calls and songs to Xeno-canto, the open library of bird sound. This is where BeakBrain sources its recordings, and it is the fastest way to give a silent species its voice.
Draw a bird
Every collector card carries a historical illustration, and thousands of species still have none. If you draw or paint birds, we would love to see your work. Email hello@beakbrain.com with the species, the artwork and the name you want credited. You keep the copyright; we only need your permission to use it on the card, and every illustration is credited to its artist. See how cards are credited.
Or send it straight to us
Not sure where to start, or want a species prioritised? Email hello@beakbrain.com with the species name and your photo or recording, and we will take it from there.

Every bird, by sight and sound
Thousands of species still need a good photo or a clean recording. Your sightings help complete the picture.
