r/whatsthisbird Subreddit Rules

1

Submit descriptions, audio, video and/or photos of real-world unknown birds

Media containing known species are better suited to r/birdpics, r/birding, r/ornithology, and others. Please respect each subreddit's rules when posting.

Artwork with depictions of real-world birds are allowed. Generative-AI images and video are prohibited. Any such posts will be removed.

Avoid Facebook and cloud storage links. Use links to image, video or sound sharing sites.

Know the ID of a tricky bird and want to see if others can guess it? Such posts, tagged with [CHALLENGE], are okay.

Violation reason: Not a bird, species is known, or has been created with AI
2

Include geographic location in ID requests

Location is vital for bird identification.

Please include a reasonably precise geographic location and the month of your sighting in the title or comments to help rule out similar species.

Flair Requirements:

  • Set your flair to the geographic location of the observation.
  • Use "Private Collection" for birds in zoos, aviaries, or captive settings.
  • Use "Unknown Location" or "Social Media" if the origin is not known.

Please provide as much situational context as possible.

Violation reason: Incorrect geographic location or flair provided
3

No joke posts

While we enjoy good humor, this is foremost an educational subreddit. Jokes in comments are acceptable, as long as they do not confound any legitimate IDs.

4

Tag images involving death or gore as NSFW

Images containing death or gore (within reason; for example, stuffed specimens are exempt) must be tagged as NSFW. Do not crosspost content that would violate this rule. Post a link to the original post instead.

5

Leave (most) baby birds alone

See the stickied post for the few exceptions.
