Accessibility

What we’ve done

• Every page works with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus indicator and a “skip to main content” link.
• Pages use proper headings, labels and landmarks, so screen readers can navigate them.
• Text and controls meet colour-contrast guidelines, and nothing relies on colour alone.
• Pages work at 400% zoom and on small screens without scrolling sideways.
• Animation is reduced if your device asks for reduced motion.
• Photos and drawings have text descriptions, and bird colours can be chosen by name as well as by picture.
• Each release is checked with automated accessibility tests, on desktop and mobile.

Known limitations

• Photos uploaded by owners and finders may not have detailed descriptions.
• Lost-bird posters are designed for print. The same information is available on the bird’s page.
