What’s It About?
The app catalogs more than 304 species of birds. Each entry has basic facts about things like habitat, diet, and reproduction; to learn more, users must follow a link to Wikipedia, a free online encyclopedia. You can also access the birds' songs and take a quiz that requires you to identify the type of bird based on a picture or song.
Is It Any Good?
The highlight of BIRDS PRO HD - NATURE MOBILE is its library of beautiful high-definition photographs, many of which have been submitted by users. There are basic facts about each bird too, but users must follow a link to Wikipedia to learn more, which requires an Internet connection. Users can browse the list of birds alphabetically, or search for a specific bird by name. Birds Pro HD is a decent encyclopedia for the casual bird enthusiast. For a more comprehensive bird app, try the Audubon Society's Field Guide apps, which also include birdwatching tips and the ability to identify unknown birds by appearance.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
