See the whole library in use at birdalbum.com. Bird Album is a free bird guide built on these stickers: look up any species by name in 15 languages, see where it lives and which months it is around, and open a map of 8,171 birding hotspots that shows what people are seeing at each one this month.
By Huashu (花叔), from the bird-watching app Mingji (鸣迹). More than 11,000 bird species across 45 orders and 249 families, following AviList v2026, the unified global checklist first published in 2025 (the IOC list has ended in its favour). Every species that AviList does not flag as extinct or possibly extinct is included, plus 43 flagged species that already had a sticker: extinct, extinct in the wild, possibly extinct, or, for two, once extinct in the wild and since reintroduced (see extinctionStatus). Every species has a sticker. Each species comes with structured data: taxonomy, names in up to 43 languages, cross-database IDs, and what each sticker was made from.
Version 2.0 moved the taxonomy from IOC 15.2 to AviList v2026. 82 species changed their scientific name (and so their id and sticker path), 91 former species are now subspecies of another species, and 30 new species were split off. Every change is listed in data/crosswalk-ioc15.2-avilist2026.csv, and each record keeps its old IOC ID under previous. See CHANGELOG.
AI-generated, and every file says so. Each sticker file carries XMP/IPTC metadata stating that it is an AI-generated illustration, not a photograph (IPTC Digital Source Type trainedAlgorithmicMedia), which AI system was used, that it was not verified by experts and may contain errors, the license, and a link back to this repository.
License in short: the stickers are licensed under CC BY 4.0: use them for anything, including commercial work, editing and redistribution, as long as you credit huashu-bird-sticker with a link to this repository. The data is MIT, and third-party parts are listed in NOTICE.
Use a sticker in one line
Every sticker is served by the jsDelivr CDN (CORS enabled), so you can put it straight into a page:
<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/alchaincyf/huashu-bird-sticker@main/stickers/Coraciiformes/Alcedinidae/Alcedo_atthis.webp" alt="Common Kingfisher" width="240">
To look a bird up by name, load data/stickers.json (2.7 MB: scientific, English and Chinese name, file path and the species page on birdalbum.com for each species; the 91 subspecies stickers are listed under forms in data/species.json). Names in 43 languages are in data/names.csv.
const idx = await (await fetch("https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/alchaincyf/huashu-bird-sticker@main/data/stickers.json")).json();
const s = idx.stickers.find(x => x.en === "Eurasian Magpie");
const url = idx.cdn + s.file; // the sticker URL
