Have you ever wondered what kind of bird chirping so sweetly or what kind of feathered creature chirping like a laser gun while you’re relaxing in your garden? raspberry pi The project answers that question! Jumpin_jon of Reddit uses a Raspberry Pi to listen to music. bird chirping Additionally, you can use an open-source tool called BirdNET-Pi to recognize what kind of bird it is.
BirdNET-Pi A tool designed to run on a Raspberry Pi that uses TFLite to process audio input and listen to bird calls. It was put together by his Patrick McGuire who branched off from Stefan Kah’s project. BirdNET Lite. BirdNET-Pi is optimized for Raspberry Pi and will run on Raspberry Pi 4B, Raspberry Pi 400, Raspberry Pi 3B and even Raspberry Pi Zero 2W.
The system works by listening to bird calls using a USB microphone. Voice input is parsed through BirdNET-Pi and processed to identify which birds may be making the noise. According to the GitHub page, BirdNET-Pi can identify hundreds of birds from different countries around the world.

Setting up this project does not require much hardware. Mostly you need a compatible Pi and a microphone. In this case Jumpin_jon is using a Raspberry Pi 4 B 4GB model, but an older and smaller Pi would work instead. Jumpin_jon used a high quality mic setup and implemented an Agptek Lavalier omnidirectional mic that connects to the Pi via 3.5mm using a USB adapter.
The official BirdNET-Pi GitHub page has lots of details about the application, including various features you can use such as real-time effects. The developer recommends using the 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS Lite version, especially Bullseye. Other Pis can be used, but the best performance is likely to come from a Pi 4 with plenty of RAM.
