Do Your Birds a DSCVR Labs app
Three birds a day · Two minutes · Forever yours

Know the birds outside your window by name.

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.

Try today's first question

This is the whole game. No timers, no hearts, no ads — just a photograph and four names.

How it works

1

It learns where you are

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.

2

Three questions, every morning

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.

3

Misses return. Mastery stays.

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.

Small app, sharp edges

A collection that means something

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.

Streaks without the guilt trip

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.

Your neighbourhood league

A leaderboard of the birders within 50 km — not the whole internet. See who around you actually knows their birds.

Study between sessions

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.

The birds are already there.
Learn their names.

Free, in friends-and-family beta on Android. Install it tonight and meet your first three birds tomorrow morning.
