Once you or your Bird Buddy create postcards of birds, squirrels, or other visitors, their profiles will appear under the Collection screen. By default, the bird profiles in your Collection are sorted by name, species, and all saved bird profiles.
Read below for a detailed guide on how to use each Collection view.
By name
In the By name view, you’ll see all bird profiles displayed with an accompanying image or video, specimen name (e.g., Bob), and species name (e.g., House Finch). The most recent bird profiles will have a ‘New’ tag.
You can sort the bird profiles by applying the following filters, located in the upper right corner:
- Newest first
- Oldest first
- A to Z
- Z to A
If no postcards have been collected yet, this view will be empty.
If you click on a bird profile it will take you directly to its gallery, where you can set a cover photo for that bird profile. Clicking the back arrow will return you to the list view.
Within the gallery, you’ll find all photos and videos of the bird that you’ve personally named, located under the Your Feeder section. Additionally, the same gallery includes Community photos and videos, featuring birds named by you as well as other users.
By species
In the By species view, all bird profiles are displayed with their corresponding image or video, species name (e.g., House Finch). Each profile also shows the time of their last visit and the total number of visits. Newly added bird profiles will be marked with a ‘New’ tag, while birds from related species will be labeled by grouping tags such as ‘Family,’ ‘Order,’ or ‘Genus.’
You can sort the bird profiles using the filters located in the upper right corner:
- Newest first
- Oldest first
- Most visits first
- Least visits first
- A to Z
- Z to A
If no postcards have been collected yet, this view will remain empty.
Every species of bird in your Collection has its own profile with a lot of interesting information. → Read more about Profiles here

In the All saved view, all bird photos and videos are displayed in a grid format for easy browsing. You can sort the profiles using the filters located in the upper right corner:
- Newest first
- Oldest first
- Show all
- Photos only
- Videos only
- All feeders
- My feeders only
- Guest feeders only
- BB Explore* feeders only

Next to the filter, there’s a Select button that enables bulk actions, allowing you to select multiple photos and videos at once. Alternatively, you can long-press on any specific bird profile to quickly enter select mode.
Note: If you encounter an error while downloading multiple images or videos in the All saved view, try downloading fewer files at a time to avoid the issue.
