Haikubox is an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled device which identifies backyard birds using sound. Called the "Shazam for birds" in a review by WIRED[1] and a news story by Axios Tampa Bay[2], a Haikubox listens for and identifies birds automatically and continuously, and can send the homeowner alerts when new birds are heard. Haikubox was developed by Loggerhead Instruments, building on their bioacoustics experience developing and manufacturing underwater acoustic dataloggers.
Haikubox uses a proprietary neural net, BirdNet for Haikubox, which was trained on thousands of bird recordings through a collaboration with the creators of BirdNET Sound ID at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics.
Each Haikubox owner becomes a citizen-scientist by sharing their bioacoustic data with the Center for Conservation Bioacoustics (CCB). With its focus on the collection and study of natural sounds, CCB researchers will use this potentially massive data set to map bird behavior, including impacts of climate change, migration and nesting patterns, and regional dialect differences among species.
A Haikubox plugs into a homeowner's outdoor power outlet and connects to the home's Wifi to allow 24/7 operation. Through its website and smartphone apps iPhone and Android), users can see images of identified species, listen to and share three-second sound clips, view audio spectrograms (a visual representation of sound), check daily and hourly counts of each species, and connect to outside experts such as eBird and All About Birds.
The device was named "Haikubox" because it carefully observes nature, much like haiku poems which capture a moment in time and often focus on nature imagery.
A local news story in the Sarasota Herald Tribune[3] noted that Haikuboxes are assembled domestically, at the Loggerhead Instruments offices in Sarasota, FL.
Development of Haikubox was supported in large part by the National Science Foundation's SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) grants.
