Gamified Bird Identification App? (lemmy.ca)

Does anyone know of a Duolingo-like birding application that gamifies bird identification?

(Particularly for Android and extra points for sound ID in addition to visual ID)

This is a fantastic idea. It would have a limited audience, but I don’t know why duolingo doesn’t use their app for other gamified learning.

For instance, I’d love some gamified learning around tying various knots. I don’t use knots for my job, but I’ve always felt like it would be handy to know 10-15 of the most common knots for when I go into the woods.

Limited audience indeed. It sure would be great to have all kinds of gamified learning content, though. Constant reenforcement and rewards helps a lot. Like my dog and treats. 🤪
