Ka nako e tšoanang le ornithologists lakatsa ya data ruileng le e feletseng haholoanyane, "birders" -people ba eang nonyana shebella bakeng sa monyaka-ba kamehla linonyana bolokang 'me documenting seo ba se bonang. baahi ba metse ena e 'meli e-na le histori e telele ea itahletse, empa hona joale collaborations tsena li' nile tsa fetohe ka ho le lilemo li dijethale. eBird ke aba ho bokella litaba projeke eo solicits tlhahisoleseding ho tswa birders lefatšeng ka bophara, 'me e se a ntse a ile a fumana tse fetang limilione tse 260 sightings nonyana barupeluoa 250,000 (Kelling et al. 2015) .
Pele ho thakholoa ha eBird, boholo ba ya data bōpiloe ke birders ne fumanehe moholo ho bafuputsi:

Ho e-na ho ba le sena ya data bohlokoa lula e sa sebelisoe, eBird nolofalletsa birders ho kenya o isa sebakeng se gare wa dijitale polokelongtshedimosetso.

Birders leka ho ikokobelletsa sa tloaelehang litlaleho tse-tse kang litlaleho tsa mefuta etsahala seoelo haholo, ho lokisa mathata ao phahameng haholo, kapa ho tsoa sehla litlaleho tse-ba flagged, 'me websaeteng ka tsela e iketsang kopang boitsebiso bo eketsehileng, tse kang lifoto. Ka mor'a hore bokella tlhahisoleseding ena e eketsehileng, e tlaleha ka ho flagged ba romeloa e mong oa ba makholo ba litsebi tsa baithaopi lebatowa hlahlojoa hore ho eketsehileng.

Polokelongtshedimosetso ena ea hlokometsoeng screened e ntan'o fumantshwa ho mang kapa mang lefatšeng le mabapi sa Inthanete le ho fihlela joale, hoo e ka bang 100 ea lithaka-pheta tse ngotsoeng likhatisong tse 'nile ba sebelisa e (Bonney et al. 2014) . eBird bontša ka ho hlaka hore moithaopi birders ba khona ho bokella ya data e molemo bakeng sa ho etsa lipatlisiso sebele ornithology.
E mong oa bakitoko ea eBird ke hore e hapa "Mosebetsi" o se a ntse a etsahalang-tabeng ena, birding. Tsobotsi ena nolofalletsa morero ho fihlela tekanyo e haholo. Leha ho le joalo, ho thoe "mosebetsi" o etsoang ke birders ha se hantle tšoanang le ya data hlokahala ka ornithologists. Ka mohlala, ka eBird, pokello ya data e laolwang ke lefelo la birders eseng sebaka sa linonyana. Sena se bolela hore, ho etsa mohlala, tse hlokometsoeng ka ho fetisisa atisa ho etsahala haufi le mebila e (Kelling et al. 2012; Kelling et al. 2015) . Ho phaella ho kabo ena lekaneng ho boiteko bo holim 'sebaka, e leng lintho tse hlokometsoeng sebele entsoeng ka birders hase kamehla bo ratehang hakaalo.

eBird bafuputsi ba le litharollo tse peli ka sehloohong ho ditaba tsena ya data quality, litokollo tse hlahang liphetolelong tse ngata tsa aba merero e meng pokello ya data. Taba ea pele, eBird bafuputsi ba kamehla ho leka ho ntlafatsa boleng ba ya data ke birders. Ka mohlala, eBird fana thuto ho barupeluoa, 'me e bōpileng visualizations ya data ka mong hore, ka moralo oa, khothalletsa birders ho kenya boitsebiso bo eketsehileng mabapi le mefuta e sohle seo ba hlokomela, eseng feela karolo (Wood et al. 2011; Wiggins 2011) . Ea bobeli, eBird bafuputsi ba sebelisa dikai dipalopalo hore leka ho lokisa bakeng sa lerata le heterogeneous mofuta ya data e tala.

Bangata bao e seng ornithologists ke qalong lekhonono fetisisa ha ba utloa ka eBird ka lekhetlo la pele. Ka maikutlo a, karolo ea lipelaelo ena tsoa ho nahana ka eBird ka tsela e fosahetseng.
