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)

Seek is probably the closest to what you're describing, but it's not just for birds.

iNaturalist has a gamified element to it as well, but it's pretty barebones. It's basically just "These are popular things in your area that you haven't found yet" and when you find them, they just drop off the list silently.

I love seek to identify plants. I had gotten really good at it using it

This app looks exactly along the lines I was thinking. Even though it's broader, I think I may love it nonetheless.

Bonus, maybe it's something I can do together with my kids as well. Time to give it a go.

Thanks!
