Notes
1 If you use iBird in the field, please do so responsibly. We recommend the American Birding Association39;s Code of Ethics http:www.aba.orgaboutethics.html, particularly section 1b, for guidance.
2 The database of bird illustrations, photos and sounds is downloaded from our server so before installing iBird please make sure you are on a fast WIFI connection. A cellular connection will general be too slow.

4 Previous versions of iBird inadvertently had encryption on which prevented app from being moved to SD Cards. This has been fixed and now if you have an SD Card you can move the iBird application to it, if it does not install there by default. Database always installs on SD Card or storage area.
