BeakBrain
Learn birds by sight and sound
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Learn the birds of any country by sight and sound. Short daily rounds, real photos and real calls, and a streak that keeps you sharp for your next trip.
BeakBrain is the fun, fast way to learn your birds.
Pick any country and BeakBrain builds a learning path from the most common birds up to the rarities, tuned to the time of year you're birding. You learn in short daily rounds: identify a species from a photo or its call, review lookalikes side by side, and keep your daily streak going. Bird species you find tricky return more often until they stick.
WHY BIRDERS LOVE IT
• 235 countries and regions, 10,900+ species, ordered by how common each bird actually is where you are
• Learn by EAR and EYE: real photos and real recordings, the way birding actually works
• Collect bird cards that feature historic hand-drawn illustrations
• Prep for a trip: set your destination and month and practice exactly what species you'll see before you start birding
• National-park packs, lookalike drills, and quick 60-second games, including the 20 bird species closest to your location
• Guest-first and private: no ads, we never sell your data, sign in only if you want to sync across devices
• Collect hand illustrated bird cards for each species you master
• Available in 20 languages
All photos, recordings, and illustration are used under open licences with full credit to the artists and contributors (Wikimedia Commons and the Xeno-canto community).
Built by Dr. Cat Black, a behavioural ecologist and conservation scientist (University of Oxford) with a background in camera trapping and acoustics, studying house finches, swallow-tailed kites, and gentoo penguins over her career.
