BIRDBASE AND BIRDAREA

WORLD CLASS BIRDING SOFTWARE

We produce serious software for people with a serious interest in birding. But the software's careful design, comprehensive on-screen help, and click-by-click users manual tutorials make it very easy to operate, even by someone who is both a beginning computer user and a beginning birder. Furthermore, the adaptability of the software ensures that a beginner will never outgrow it. And no user will ever be forced to discard his/her sightings records, and start recording them over again, due to the frequently occurring changes in bird names or taxonomy. BirdBase has the latest bird names list and can handle all changes in the list. The most recent bird ranges are in BirdArea and it lets them be updated.
