Mission HQ

You’re the scout. Snap birds in the field, unlock your photo log, ID calls, and climb the ranks — just like Ari and his cockatiel.

  1. Scan — snap a bird photo and log the species
  2. Collection — your photos unlock each species slot
  3. Sound ID — play a call, name the bird, earn points
  4. Hunt — vicinity map of birds near you (go outside)
  5. Range · Facts · Eggs — field intel on habitat and nesting

Scores and photos stay on this device.

Field tip — rarity

Common birds are everywhere. Uncommon and rare ones take more scans. Legendary sightings are the real prize — stay sharp.

Scan for birds

Field rule — your own photo goes in Ari’s field log. No fake AI ID. Snap or choose a photo, then confirm the species.

  1. Step 1 — take or choose your bird photo
  2. Step 2 — confirm which species it is
  3. Step 3 — that photo unlocks the collection slot

Photo required — camera on phone, or file picker on desktop.

Photos stay on this device only. No location tags.

My collection

Field log — locked slots until you scan them. Your photo becomes the passport portrait.

Common Uncommon Rare Legendary

Sound ID

Call challenge — play the sound, ID the bird, score points.

Vicinity hunt

Outdoor mission map — birds near you. Gear up like Ari: go outside and hunt. Exact street address is never shown or saved on photos.

Scout tip from Ari

Rares don’t sit on the couch — check the map, then snap your own photo in the field.

Privacy: location stays in this app for the hunt map only. Never attached to collection photos, cards, or shares. Coarse vicinity — not your street.

Range map

Species range intel on a real map of Australia — approximate ranges only, never a personal “you are here”.

Approximate ranges on a real map of Australia (incl. Tasmania). Tap a bird to highlight.

Bird facts

Field facts — personality, diet, house-bird suitability.

Eggs & hatch

Clutch size and hatch time for each species.

Leaderboard

Scout rankings on this device — unique species first, then total sightings. Online multiplayer board later.
