Bird Eats Bug is a bug-reporting and session-replay tool built for product, QA, support, and engineering teams. In 2024 it was acquired by BrowserStack and the product now operates under the name "Bug Capture by BrowserStack," though it still runs at its original birdeatsbug.com domain. Users install a Chrome extension or embed a Web SDK to record their screen while reproducing an issue; the tool automatically captures console logs, network requests, clicks/keystrokes, and environment/system details alongside the video, so engineers get a data-rich bug report instead of a vague description. Reports can be organized into shared collections and pushed into issue trackers and chat tools such as Jira, GitHub, Slack, Zapier, Linear, and Trello. Higher tiers add an E2E test generator that turns recorded sessions into Cypress/Selenium test scripts, custom-branded Web SDK widgets, advanced roles/permissions, and an on-premise enterprise option with SAML SSO and audit logs. The company states it is used by more than 30,000 users at organizations including Microsoft, Amazon, Atlassian, and Airbus, and has been recognized as a SoftwareAdvice Frontrunner, Capterra Shortlist leader, and GetApp Category Leader.
