The developers primary intention for the creation of the app is to add geo-tracking to track a particular bird specie in a particular area. This simple app and its underlying technologies is mainly helpful for ecologists and zoologists to study the birds migration and behavioral patterns in which under optimal condition has output results with 95% accuracy. The result is also validated by a Brazilian bird identification organization which has increased the level of confidence when using the app.
