The peregrine falcon reaches speeds over 389 km/h in a dive — making it the fastest animal on the planet.
Each round presents 10 randomized multiple-choice questions drawn from a pool of 50, so every playthrough is different. You get instant feedback with explanations after each answer, plus a shareable score at the end.
Soar through 50 questions covering 10,000+ bird species, from the tiny bee hummingbird to the massive ostrich. Learn about the peregrine falcon's record-breaking dives, Arctic tern's epic migrations, corvid intelligence, the kakapo's unique status, flamingo coloration, and the alarming rate of bird species facing extinction.
New Caledonian crows and African grey parrots are often considered the smartest birds. New Caledonian crows can craft and use tools, solve multi-step puzzles, and plan for the future. African grey parrots can learn hundreds of words and demonstrate abstract reasoning. Corvids (crows, ravens, jays) as a family show remarkable intelligence across species.
The Arctic tern holds the record for the longest migration of any animal, traveling roughly 71,000 km (44,000 miles) annually from Arctic to Antarctic and back. Over its 30-year lifespan, an Arctic tern may travel more than 2.4 million kilometers — equivalent to three round trips to the Moon.
Approximately 1 in 8 bird species (about 1,400 species) are threatened with extinction according to BirdLife International. Major threats include habitat loss, climate change, invasive species, and hunting. Since 1500, at least 187 bird species have gone extinct, with the rate accelerating in recent decades.
