Even if you have no programming knowledge you can experiment with building a bird image (or sound) AI at the Google Teachable Machine, just define some classes, gather up some jpgs and submit them then click the button to train the model. After that you can download it or publish it like this one which I quickly trained to recognise Old World thrushes, finches and warblers using just 4 examples of each. It may not be any good but this is what I got with further examples from outside the training set:

Mistle Thrush - 100% thrush
Blackcap - 89% warbler
Citril Finch - 98% finch
Goldfinch - 86% warbler 11% finch. Oh well, 3 out of 4 ain't bad!

Try my model out and see how you get on or, write your own!

I added a Bunting class and more training images for the existing classes. You can save and modify these models but it has to be on Google drive so I rebuilt it from scratch.

 
It says you can make one with sounds, but yet, it seems to accept no form of sound upload...apparently it only accepts microphone recordings through a specific feature. Shame, I've been begging for something that lets me train recognition for insect sound ID for a long time.
