How about linking bird species to Wikipedia (or some other resource?)

[kchristensen]

BirdNET-Pi takes the easy route and just links to https://wikipedia.com/wiki/<Scientific Name> (Example), which generally redirects to the right place. This is pretty easy to do, but I wasn't going to step on any toes if there was something cooler planned.

Or ebird ;)

All toes are safe. There's also All About Birds, but the URLs seem to be based on common names. I don't know if it is localized for other languages.

I think eBird has an API for looking up their abbreviated names based on scientific names, e.g. norfli below.

https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Flicker/
https://ebird.org/species/norfli
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colaptes_auratus

I'd probably lean toward eBird.

I'd love to have a thumbnail of the species too (well, my wife particularly). That way you hear it and can somewhat easily identify which bird it is without having to do a lookup.

Having a look at the ebird API and I can already think up some interesting ideas :
Have the nearest observation of a bird that registers. good for validating if a bird really exists or not
