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)

    I don’t know of a gamified version (but would love to see one), but for help identifying, validating, and tracking sightings you may find the Merlin app from TheCornellLab useful.

      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.

        That’s strange that a single app would struggle with that. And this is with location permissions allowed for the app?

          Yep. Definitely weird. I tried all the basic troubleshooting stuff but no luck.
