What this is
Birdsense listens while this page is open and offers a cautious reading: likely species, kind of call, and one English sentence. It is not a word-for-word translation, and it does not invent a cat, hawk, or other animal unless the evidence already contains that word.
The garden list is 22 common UK and Ireland birds. If the sound is not clear, the app says so.
We only name those 22. Anything else stays unnamed — no rarities, no guesses outside the garden list. A YouTube “robin” is often the American robin, which we do not name. The European robin is on the list.
