About this game

BirdLab is a free game participatory science whose purpose is to validate scientific hypotheses thanks to players.

The principle: for 5 minutes, you will have to reproduce your fingers arrivals and departures on two real bird feeders you have installed side by side in your garden, balcony or terrace.
BirdLab is the playful application of scientific protocol established by researchers of the National Natural History Museum and AgroParisTech.

How to play and help science?

1- Build two identical feeders for your garden, terrace or balcony by following our tutorials within the application.

2- Learn the 26 species of the most common birds with the drive quiz (novice, amateur or confirmed).
Fact sheets allow you to learn more about the species you observe.

3- Start the game and identify live for 5 minutes the birds that come to rest on your two feeders.
The data you collect is valuable and useful: they are sent to the Museum and you concretely help science to understand bird behavior.

4- BirdLab plays winter, from mid-November to late March.
Share your stats with friends and recruit new players.
The more you play and the more you help science.

Your observations are used to study how different species of birds avoid or combine the feeders. More observational data are, the more researchers will advance knowledge.

BirdLab is a free application developed by the Participatory Science Vigie-Nature team, a program of the National Museum of Natural History, and the studio Small Bang.

Thank you note the app and share it with your friends to help scientists.
