We created an easy to use app that gives you all the beautiful bird calls, photos, range, and identification info you expect, and also makes you look at birds in a way that will develop your identification skills. Wild About Birds! has a game that lets you find the identifying features by looking at the birds' visual details. And, we show where to look for the bird spatially as well as the one key identifier that, once you see it, you know you have that bird. Plus, we have fun facts about each bird and a great way to keep track of the birds you've seen with an interactive scrapbook. Wild About Birds! is a great way to get started birding and to involve the whole family.
