G'day Bird

Every morning at eight, a new Australian bird: a proper photo, its real call, a short note on what makes it worth knowing, and a map of where it's been seen. Swipe through the rest in Discover and keep the ones you love. Likes are rationed, a handful a day, so a collection means something. Run out and you can earn more by naming a call, or by doing the call yourself and letting the app judge your impression. Today's bird lives on your home screen widget and, on iPhones with a Dynamic Island, visits as a little pixel sprite each morning. Tap it to hear the call without opening the app. Birds, photos and recordings arrive on their own; the app keeps growing without updates. Photographs and calls are used under open licences, with the photographer and recordist credited on every card. No account, no ads, no tracking.
