Do Your Birds asks you three photo questions a day — drawn from the birds that actually live where you live, commonest first. Get one wrong and it comes back until you don't. Get it right three times and it's yours for good.
Every question uses real photographs by real naturalists, from iNaturalist and Wikimedia Commons.
This is the whole game. No timers, no hearts, no ads — just a photograph and four names.

Your daily birds come from millions of real sightings near your location — so you're learning the Hadeda on your lawn, not a warbler from another hemisphere.
A photo and four names, three times. That's the entire daily session — done before your coffee's cool. Answer all three right and you bank bonus points.
Get a bird wrong and it comes back tomorrow, and the day after, until you know it. Name it right three times and it's mastered — a permanent badge in your collection.
Every bird you're asked joins your collection, with a field-guide page: photos, range, calls, lookalikes, names in other languages, and the story of the bird.
A daily streak, a freeze for the day life gets in the way, and a session that genuinely takes two minutes. Built to be finished, not to keep you scrolling.
A leaderboard of the birders within 50 km — not the whole internet. See who around you actually knows their birds.
A daily study set mixes the birds you've missed, the ones nearly mastered, and the ones you'll meet in the next few days — so tomorrow's questions feel familiar.
Free, in friends-and-family beta on Android. Install it tonight and meet your first three birds tomorrow morning.
