DoYourBirds

Learn the wildlife around you, 5 minutes a day.

DoYourBirds is a daily learning game for the wildlife around you. Three species a day, three quick quizzes, five minutes total. Despite the name, it's not just birds — it covers mammals, insects, plants, fungi, the lot.

It uses your location to show you what's actually in your area, with photos and data from iNaturalist. Your collection grows over time. There's a regional leaderboard so you can see how you stack up against other learners nearby.

This is a friends-and-family beta. Things will break, your progress may get reset, and the app is Android only for now. No guarantees yet — install at your own risk.

How to install

Android doesn't allow apps from outside the Play Store by default, so you need to grant your browser one-time permission to install the file. The first time you do this, Android will prompt you.

  1. Tap Download APK above on your Android phone.
  2. Open the downloaded file (usually from the notification bar or your Downloads folder).
  3. Android will warn you about installing from an unknown source. Tap Settings and allow your browser to install apps.
  4. Go back and tap Install.
Only install from doyourbirds.com. Don't install DoYourBirds APKs from anywhere else, even if they look legitimate. This site is the only trusted source.
