Learn bird songs by ear, from a real chorus of birds

Name: Choral
Author: Growing Peas

Several birds sing at once, as they do outside at dawn, and you tick every species you hear. Then each voice gets its own line: tap it to hear that bird alone. Choral covers 52 European species, from real field recordings rather than tidy studio clips.

A checked round: three voices, each drawn as its own line of ink and named Golden Oriole, Marsh Tit and Short-toed Treecreeper, with those three names ticked and underlined in green among eight. — A chorus with every singer named, the notebook, and the sheet of one bird.

The notebook, 7 of 52 mastered: Blackbird, Robin, Chaffinch, Great tit and Wren, each with an antique plate, its Latin name, its song drawn as a line and a phrase to remember it. — A chorus with every singer named, the notebook, and the sheet of one bird.

If you want to learn birds by their songs

Outside at dawn, birds sing together. A quiz that plays one clean recording and asks for its name trains a different skill from picking out the robin while a wren and a blackbird sing over it. Choral plays a chorus of several voices and asks you to name every one, then lets you replay each singer alone to hear what you missed.

Birds only sing together if they could meet: same place, same months, same region. The game follows your ear, adds a voice when you are ready and brings back the birds you confuse, and a notebook keeps every species you meet, with a phrase to remember its song.

How it plays

Tailored: the game follows your ear and adds a voice when you are ready.
Daily chorus: the same chorus for everyone each day, to share in one line.
Survival: three lives per habitat, one more voice at every step, your record kept.
Surprise rounds now and then: a duel, a single singer, a full chorus.
A sheet for each bird: antique plate, size, habitat, season and a phrase to remember its song. Every species you master earns its seal.

Who makes it

I do: one person, on my own, under the name Growing Peas. I made Choral to learn the birds around my own garden. Mail goes to [email protected] and I answer it myself. Every recording and plate is inside the app, so playing needs no connection. The recordings are field recordings shared under open licences (CC0, CC BY, CC BY-SA), and every author is credited by name in the app under Settings, Credits.
