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.

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 keeps coming back in your quizzes 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: a gallery of photos, habitat, size and diet, its 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.

Friends, and a little rivalry

A simple points board, a Friends view for the people you play with, and a link to share your day — your three birds, score and streak — straight into the group chat.

Study between sessions

Nine birds to study on your home screen: the ones you've missed, the ones you're revising, 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, with no ads, ever. Install it today and meet your first three birds tomorrow morning.
