Every sound is a real bird. BirDJ turns a wall of birdsong into a beat machine. Tap the pads, bend the pitch, and lay down a track in seconds. No install, no account. It plays right in your browser.

🎹 Play

  • Tap the pads. Each one is a different bird. Use several fingers at once.
  • Bend the pitch. Press and drag a pad up or down to pitch its call higher or lower.
  • Hold to sustain. Keep a pad pressed to loop the call.
  • On desktop, play with your keyboard: 1 2 3 4 5 / Q W E R T / A S D F G.

🎛️ Make it yours

  • ✎ Edit any pad to drop in a different bird from the full aviary (46 and counting). Preview each call first.
  • ● Record a beat, ▶ play it back, and ↗ share a link that replays your track in anyone's browser. No server, no sign-up. The whole song lives in the link.

🎵 Hear what's possible

Open Songs for ready-made demos, including birds performing Ode to Joy, Für Elise, the Seven Nation Army riff, Smoke on the Water, Billie Jean, the Super Mario Bros theme, Tetris, and the Imperial March. Yes, really. Played by birds.

🐣 Where the birds come from

The calls are real birdsong from Bird Rise, our app that wakes you to a different bird every morning. If you love these sounds, give it a try.

Would genuinely love to hear what you make. Drop a share link in the comments and I'll play every one of them. Also accepting strong opinions on which bird is the best pad.
