About

DoYourBirds

Features
Read full description

Do Your Birds is a daily bird-learning game. Every day you get three multiple-choice questions: a photo, four names, pick the right one. The birds come from the species people actually record near you, most common first, so you learn what you'll really see on your walk, not a textbook list. It takes about two minutes. There are no lessons to complete and nothing to grind. One quiz a day, then get on with your day. How it works โ€ข Three questions daily, drawn from the birds around your location. โ€ข Get one wrong and it comes back in a later quiz until you have it. โ€ข Answer a bird correctly three times and it's Mastered, for good. โ€ข A perfect day earns a bonus. Keep your streak going day after day, with a freeze in reserve for the odd missed day. โ€ข Every bird you meet joins your collection, with a field-guide page: photos, where and when to find it, what it sounds like, and the look-alikes that trip people up. โ€ข Learn: a short daily study list of the birds you missed, the ones you're close to mastering, and the ones coming up next. โ€ข Community: see how your friends are doing on a simple points board. Built for beginners and for people who've always meant to learn their local birds. Start with the common ones, and in a few weeks you'll know the birds in your garden, your park and your commute by sight. Photos are contributed by naturalists on iNaturalist and Wikimedia Commons under Creative Commons licences, credited on every image. Species information is drawn from Wikipedia and iNaturalist. Do Your Birds uses your location only to choose local species. There are no ads and no tracking.
