Abstract

Bird biodiversity plays a vital role in maintaining ecological balance but is highly vulnerable to urbanization and environmental degradation. Manual identification of bird species requires considerable time and expertise, making automated classification systems essential. This study develops an efficient bird species classification framework
using lightweight deep learning models. Six pretrained architectures were evaluated: MobileViT-V1, MobileViT-V2, EfficientNetV2-B3, ResNet-18, MobileNetV3, and ShuffleNetV2. The dataset, obtained from TensorFlow Dataset, consists of 200 bird species with a total of 11,788 images. Results indicate that EfficientNetV2-B3 achieved the highest accuracy (63%) and F1-score (0.63). MobileNetV3 provided a balanced trade-off with 56% accuracy and 0.835 ms latency, making
it optimal for deployment on resource-constrained devices.
