Welcome to the Wiki for BirdNET-Pi! I hope for this to be a resource for Raspberry Pi enthusiasts, bird enthusiasts, conservationists, tinkerers, amazing-back-yard-havers, citizen scientists, and anyone else curious about birds, AI/machine-learning, Linux, Single-board computing, the natural world, or the various cool ideas BirdNET inspires (including this one)!

What is BirdNET-Pi?

One-liner: BirdNET-Pi is a small computer that hangs out in your backyard and listens to the birds.

BirdNET

To quote BirdNET:

BirdNET is a research platform that aims at recognizing birds by sound at scale. . . . BirdNET is a citizen science platform as well as an analysis software for extremely large collections of audio. BirdNET aims to provide innovative tools for conservationists, biologists, and birders alike.

Definitely check out the project!

BirdNET-Pi

BirdNET-Pi aims to integrate BirdNET analysis, field data collection (audio recording), birdsong audio selection extraction (picking out the goodies), and web-service of the data (showing off the goodies) into one easy-to-install, easy-to-configure, easy-to-share Linux-based system.
