No credit card · 3-minute daily lessons
Why it works
Every session is a few minutes of audio quizzes. Get them right and the birds stick — get them wrong and we'll bring them back tomorrow.
Real field recordings, not stock samples. Train on the calls you'll actually hear.
Hit your daily goal to keep your streak alive. Streak freezes have your back.
Weekly leaderboards turn practice into a game. Promote, defend, repeat.
How it works
Each question plays a real field recording. Tap to replay it as many times as you like.
Spaced repetition brings birds back right before you'd forget them.
Birds you keep getting right move into your mastered list. Then we add new ones.
The session
The whole lesson is one big play button and four answers. No fluff. Tap, listen, choose — over and over until your brain owns it.
I've tried bird ID apps for years. BirdyLingo is the first one that actually made the songs stick. Five minutes on the bus and I can name the birds in my backyard.
The streak gets me every morning. It's like Duolingo, but instead of Spanish I'm learning the warblers that move through my yard in spring.
