all bird boy music is released under a Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0 license. that means you can use my lofi beats made from real bird songs in your own projects — for free, no permission needed — as long as you give credit and keep it noncommercial.
what you can do
- use my songs as background music in YouTube videos, live streams, and podcasts
- play them in study/work/relaxation mixes and personal projects
- download everything free and lossless on Bandcamp
how to credit
add a line like this wherever your platform shows credits (description, show notes, on-screen text):
music: “Northern Cardinal” by Bird Boy — birdboy.com
linking to the song’s page or this website is all I ask. if you use my music for something cool, send me a message on Instagram — I always love hearing my beats in the wild!
what’s not allowed
- selling my music or including it in paid products
- remixing, sampling, or re-releasing the songs as your own
- commercial use (ads, sponsored content) without asking first — DM me on Instagram and we can probably work something out
a note on the bird recordings
the wild bird recordings inside these songs are licensed to me by the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and those licenses directly support their conservation work. this license covers my finished songs — not the raw bird recordings themselves.
