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)

Oh, I definitely use and love the major apps. I was thinking more in terms of repetition and reward to aid memorization.

There are numerous birds i can identity by sight or sound rather easily, but... I still struggle with mixing many smaller finch sized birds; females and juveniles against similar colored males of another species; and how numerous calls sound very alike.

Having an app to drill and test me would be wonderful.
