Bird App shows you new featured birds every day, with information, images, and quotes pulled from multiple public data sources like Wikipedia and Wikidata, including range and conservation status when available. Learn about regular and unusual birds, and save your favorites to look at later or share with others.
Use the included widgets to brighten up your phone with what's truly important: a beautiful photo of a bird, or a quote that mentions them. Customize their display to see different types of birds, or past favorites.
Key features:
• 9 different sets of possible daily birds, including geographic regions, pigeons, and birds endemic to New Zealand.
• Customizable widgets.
• 1 daily quote that references birds.
• Ability to save and share favorite birds.
• Links to eBird, Wikipedia, and other websites for further exploration.
• Notifications for the day's bird (optional).
This app provides me solace in a world of political turmoil, climate change doom reporting, and species decline. The premise is simple: one bird a day. If you feel like you don’t have a morning routine and you need one, this app is the way to get started. Additionally, I love the New Zealand species of the day and the Pigeon of the day both because I live in the US and don’t know much about NZ and also because pigeons rock! (The rock pigeon really rocks). Thank you for this app! Keep up the good work!
Best app on the AppStore

This is exactly what I want from an app: teach me about birds without trying to sell me something. It’s perfect! I had to reorganize my apps recently because the doomscrolling was getting to me. Now I have a huge widget of a various bird pictures and it makes me feel a bit better. I also use the quote widget too. Thank you so much for creating this app!!
A bird a day

Just like it says. I like this app because it shows me a bird a day. For the first time in a long time, I have found beauty in the world. Our lives are complicated enough, why would I want any more features than that? Just a bird a day.
Most underrated app

A great way to start the day. No ads and really just a phenomenally designed app. I was hoping for this app to exist. The developer was open to feedback and responded quickly and kindly. I’d recommend this to anyone
• Notifications! Now you can set a time to get notified of today's bird (if you want, no pressure).
• iPhone Duo support.
