What is BIRDEY?

BIRDEY is a bird ID game. You study a bird for five seconds, then identify it from memory, and the game brings back the species you confuse until you just know them.

Grow your bird collection through play, not pay. Card rarity is not invented: it follows the species' real conservation status on the IUCN Red List.

Purchases help fund threatened habitat protection through World Land Trust's "Buy an Acre" programme. Players can follow their protected square metres on their profile.

Story angles

You get better at real birding. Short rounds help players build familiarity through practice. It tracks which species you mix up, like Pied versus Collared Flycatcher, and shows you exactly the field marks you missed.

Rarity that means something. In most collector games rarity is a marketing dial. In BIRDEY a Critically Endangered bird is a top rarity card because it is critically endangered. Spotting one teaches you what CR actually means.

Purchases help protect habitat. Subscriptions fund real square meters of protected nature through World Land Trust. The impact is concrete and permanent on your profile.

World firsts. The first player in the world to spot a species gets their name printed on that card, for every player, forever.

About the developer

BIRDEY is made by Anders, a birder and solo developer in Denmark. He knows the feeling of seeing a bird in the field, getting home to the field guide, and no longer remembering the one detail that decides the species. BIRDEY exists to end that cycle.

He is happy to talk about any of it: the game, the conservation model, or what it takes to ship a full game solo. Write to support@birdsodyssey.com.
