Two ways to keep this growing
Fledgling is free, ad-free, and has no accounts to sell. You can help in two ways. A donation keeps it online, and contributing to the open data it is built on makes it better for everyone, including you.
Give back to the data
Fledgling does not collect its own bird data. Every photo, song, and species list comes from volunteers contributing to three open projects. Adding to them is free, and it is the most valuable thing you can do.
eBird
Powers: Regional species lists
Log the birds you see as checklists. Your sightings help build the regional lists every quiz here draws from.

Powers: The photos
Upload your bird photos under an open license. Research grade observations become the images people learn from.
Add observationsxeno-canto
Powers: The songs and calls
Record bird sound and share it. Your recordings are how others learn to know a bird by ear.
Upload recordingsChip in for hosting
Servers, the database, and the APIs all cost a little each month. A one-time donation covers that and keeps the app free and ad-free.
Donations are not available right now. Please check back soon. In the meantime, contributing to the data sources above helps just as much.
