Made by one person who likes birds
“i wanted to recognise the bird in front of me.
and spend a little less time looking at my phone.”

That’s why I’m making Birdey. A small game for getting to know the birds, so you can enjoy them a little more outside.

Before you join the flock

A few little
questions.

Do I need to know anything about birds?

No. Birdey is a place to start getting to know them. Take a look, make a guess, and build familiarity as you go.

Is Birdey free?

You can start playing for free. Optional purchases and a subscription are available in the app. There are no ads.

Does Birdey identify birds with my camera?

Birdey is a game for learning to recognise birds yourself. You study illustrated bird cards and practise identifying them.

How does Birdey help protect nature?

Purchases help fund donations to World Land Trust’s Buy an Acre programme. Playing on its own does not fund habitat protection.
