description The songbird trade has been identified as a major threat to wild populations, and the bird market has now expanded to online platforms. The study explored the use of machine learning models as a monitoring framework; developed models for taxa identification; applied the best model to understand the current market situation (taxa composition, asking price, and location); and conducted a survey to understand the profile of sellers. The authors found that the machine learning models produced a high level of accuracy in distinguishing relevant ads and identified the songbirds’ taxa. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) was selected as the best model and was used to predict the ad population. The model identified 284,118 songbirds from 247 taxa that were listed online from April 2020 to September 2021. The authors also found that 6.2% of ads listed threatened taxa based on the IUCN Red List. The survey results suggested that songbird sellers are mostly hobbyists or breeders looking for extra income from selling birds. As current studies of the songbird market are mostly conducted offline in the bird markets, transactions by non-bird traders or among hobbyists in the online market are remain underreported. Therefore, monitoring needs to be extended to the online market and to our knowledge, currently there is no applied system or platform is identified for monitoring online songbird market. The result from this study can help fill this gap. Information from the monitoring of the songbird online market in this study may assist stakeholders in formulating corrective action based on the current market situation.
