Listen to and learn hundreds of bird songs and calls from across Canada, with up to 34 seconds of song for each bird, and alternative recordings for some birds. Choose a province then sort the bird sounds in a variety of ways. Sort by song style to compare birds that hoot and coo, or those with high pitched songs for example, or, if you are a beginner, you might like to sort the birds by commonness, so you can listen to the most common ones first, then move on to less frequent backyard visitors. More advanced birders may like to listen to birds from a particular habitat, such as forest or freshwater. You can make lists of your favourites so that you can find them quickly. Use the quiz to test your memory. Answer fast to earn a score multiplier and get on the high score table! Experienced birders can use the custom quiz to help distinguish and learn similar songs. And when you need a rest, try the slideshow feature - choose which birds to include, maybe add background bird song, then simply relax. If you want to continue learning while you relax, switch the voiceover on and hear the name of the bird announced at the end of each clip. This is also a good way of competing with the family - who can say the name of the bird first? Problems? Email us: spiny@spinysoftware.com
