ALL THE SOUNDS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
When preparing for a bird trip to Brazil, the selection of bird sounds can be a labor-intensive and time-consuming task. Now Peter Boesman has done the work for you. The sounds for this production were carefully selected, checked and integrated by him.
A LANDMARK PRODUCTION
This collection can be considered quite complete (> 95% Brazilian bird species can be found in this single package). It includes most of the vocalizations commonly heard while exploring Brazilian nature. This is the first time ever such a complete collection is being published for Brazil. Nearly half of all South-American bird species are included here.

More info about why we have memberships
BirdsEye is the product of many person-years of labor from hundreds of people. Money brought in from selling BirdsEye has never been enough to cover our costs even with the help of volunteers. We are able to balance our budget through generous contributions from users. One important way you can help is through a membership. If you like what we do and would like to help support future improvements, please consider becoming a member for about what it costs to buy a coffee and muffin to start a day of birding.
People have asked where our money goes and in an attempt to be transparent about what the membership fees pay for, here is a partial list:
App Stores: Apple and Google both take the first 30% of all revenue. But not if you buy a membership through this site, so thanks for considering this option!
Development: our largest cost by far is development: fixing bugs, adapting to new versions of operating system as they comeout, adding new features and supporting new platforms. BirdsEye requires a wide range of skills: wireframing, database, iOS client, Android client, website, web app, html, etc. Most of our developers are birders who help out at reduced rates because they like what we do, but still it costs money.
Managing photos, sounds and text: Making sure all the photos are identified correctly is mostly done in our spare time, but we are regularly adding new content, updating text and more.
Royalties: we pay a portion of the money we receive to The Cornell Lab of Ornithology, VIREO, and other 3rd-party content providers. For content packages like The Bird Sounds of Peru, we pay a total of 79% to the content provider.
Marketing: we spend money on newsletters and advertisements.
Customer Support: As you might imagine, customer support can feel like a thankless task. We are lucky to have George helping out. He gets paid a lot less than he’s worth.
Server hosting: BirdsEye needs multiple fairly beefy servers to be able to provide fast response times to our many users in the field.
Taxes: even though we have never earned a profit we still need to pay various federal, state and local taxes.
The leaders of the project do it for fun, not for profit. No one makes a full-time salary from the BirdsEye apps and we regularly contribute personal money to keep it afloat. All this is to say, we need and appreciate your support to continue to develop the apps!
