Description
Experts identify birds 75% of the time by their song and they use two techniques that speed the learning process. We incorporated these into our new IdentiFlyer Lyric:
1) Divide and conquer: There are over 800 birds in North America so experts recommend that you simplify the challenge by learning the birds in your habitat. If you are in the backyard, focus on the 30 most commonly heard in the backyard. If you are in the forest, learn the 10 most commonly heard forest birds.
2) Mnemonics: The Lyrics give you the words and phrases that match the music of the bird's song. Each song can be played in the Lyric mode which includes the songs mnemonics (words and phrases that sound like the song) and help connect the birds song to its name and picture.
For example, Drink your tea sounds just like the Eastern Towhees song. Hula hoop, hoop sounds like the Mourning Doves song. Learning bird songs is easier for the non-expert because they hear the birds name, see its picture, hear a verbal description of the song (lyrics) and hear its song.
