# Manage contact attribute definition

## Attributes

Attributes in the Bird Contacts API are flexible pieces that contain detailed information about a contact, enabling businesses to store and manage customer-specific details beyond basic identifiers and properties. These attributes can include customizable fields tailored to fit unique business requirements, such as subscription preferences or transaction-related data.
