Learn Birds: UK Bird ID & Song

RoJoCo Apps

About this app

Learn Birds teaches you to recognise the UK's garden birds by sight and by song. It works like flashcards that know when to test you, so the birds you keep muddling up come back more often and the ones you already know quietly fade into the background. A few minutes a day is enough to start naming the birds on your feeder.

No account needed, no adverts and no personal data collected. Your progress stays on your device, and everything runs offline, so it keeps working in the garden, on the moor or anywhere the signal drops.

WHAT YOU LEARN
• Blue Tit, Great Tit, Coal Tit, Long-tailed Tit and the rest of the regulars
• The tricky lookalikes: Chiffchaff and Willow Warbler, the three pipits, the brown finches and the black-backed gulls
• Birdsong and calls, so you can name a bird you only hear
• The field marks that genuinely tell two birds apart, in plain language rather than jargon

HOW IT WORKS
• Short lessons that fit a coffee break
• Smart review (spaced repetition) brings each bird back just as you are about to forget it
• See a photo and name it, or hear the song and name it
• Multiple choice, tap-to-match and spell-it-out questions keep it varied
• Friendly feedback every time, with the one tip that makes it stick
• A field guide to browse any time, with a photo, the key features and the song for every bird

STAY MOTIVATED
• A daily streak and a daily goal you set for yourself
• Personal bests to beat, so you are only ever competing with yourself
• Badges and family crowns as you work through each group of birds
• Level up at whatever pace suits you, with no pressure

WHAT'S FREE
• 51 common UK garden birds, free and complete, with no time limit
• Optional packs add the waterside and countryside birds when you fancy a bigger challenge
• Installable as an app and fully offline once set up
• Private by default

Whether you are brand new to birdwatching or you just want to finally tell a Dunnock from a House Sparrow, Learn Birds turns "I think that's a sparrow" into knowing exactly what you are looking at.

Grab your phone, glance out of the window and start learning the birds that visit you.

What’s new

Clearer photos throughout. We've swapped out distant and unclear shots for better ones across every bird, so each species is easy to recognise.
