Welcome to Sounds Alive

Thank you for stopping by. We have so much to share. Your city’s feathered denizens are waiting to meet you and sing you their songs.

Actually, you can introduce yourself to the local birds of any city in the world here! Thanks to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, you’ll get to know your neighbors through images taken right in your area, taken by both professional researchers and citizen naturalists.

The wondrous planetary gift that is biodiversity is always blossoming, but our current climate crisis means not just birds, but all species need our help. What better way to start than by getting to know the critters that light up our everyday soundscapes and live their lives right outside our windows?
