Why Birdpanel

Your spreadsheet won't tell you which pairing works — and which one is a risk.

Most breeders track pedigrees in Excel, pair on gut feeling and discover problems only at the end of the season. Birdpanel connects your data and lets you look ahead.

Bird species

1,257

Subspecies

Subspecies conservation starts with your records

Birdpanel keeps species, subspecies and varieties separate in a 3-tier taxonomy. The pair simulator warns on cross-subspecies pairings. That way you breed pure within the subspecies — deliberately.

  • 794 species, 1,257 subspecies, 34 varieties
  • Warning on cross-subspecies pairing

Breeding season

Your entire breeding season. From preparation to transfer.

Birdpanel tracks every phase: assembling pairs, recording clutches, monitoring eggs, ringing chicks, keeping health records and transferring birds. With treatment plans, climate schedules and automatic breeding advice throughout the season.

Breeding phases covered

From preparation to transfer — every phase of the cycle, recorded and connected.

Automatic breeding advice

Insufficient rest, declining fertility, rearing problems, retirement suggestion and repeating success — Birdpanel flags it for you.

Plan your breeding season
Genetics & analysis

Know the genetics before you pair

Select two birds and instantly see the expected COI (inbreeding), AVK (genetic diversity) and kinship — calculated across up to 10 generations. With an educational introduction for breeders new to genetics.

COI & AVK analysis

Inbreeding coefficients and genetic diversity, calculated straight from your pedigree data. With colour badges and automatic recalculation on every change.

Shared ancestors

See straight away when the same ancestor appears on both sides of a pairing. With educational explanation for every indicator.

Pair simulation

Test pairing scenarios with 3 charts, evaluation filter and the option to convert a simulation directly into a real breeding pair.

Pair advisor

Let Birdpanel suggest pairings based on 4 breeding goals: genetic diversity, line strengthening, compensatory crossing and maintenance. With forbidden-combination check.

Birdpanel is a bird record keeping platform built specifically for breeders. It combines aviary management, pedigree tracking, genetics analysis (COI, AVK, PCI), breeding pairs with 6 egg statuses, treatment plans, climate schedules, evaluations and a pair advisor — all in one place. The database contains 794 bird species, 1,257 subspecies and 34 varieties. Available in 7 languages.

Birdpanel keeps species, subspecies and varieties separate in a 3-tier taxonomy (species → subspecies → variety). This is essential for breeders working on subspecies conservation: you breed pure within the subspecies and the pair simulator warns on cross-subspecies pairings. The database contains 794 species, 1,257 subspecies and 34 varieties — from canaries and finches to parakeets and parrots.

Birdpanel is free during the open beta. All features are accessible, there is no bird limit and you don't need a credit card. Your input determines what gets built: share suggestions via the built-in roadmap and vote on features other breeders propose. That way you help shape the platform.

Birdpanel calculates inbreeding coefficients (COI), ancestor loss coefficients (AVK) and kinship values automatically from your pedigree data — up to 10 generations deep. There is an educational introduction for breeders new to genetics, and colour badges show at a glance whether values are healthy. Every change in the pedigree triggers an automatic recalculation.

Yes. Birdpanel runs on European servers (Hetzner, Germany), uses encrypted connections and stores contact details with additional encryption via CipherSweet (10 encrypted fields). Your breeding data is never shared with third parties. Daily automatic backups are kept for 30 days. You can export your data at any time.
