Bird Wheel
Spin for a random bird — to draw, to research, to play a guessing game or to decide what to look for on your next walk.
Tip: Ctrl + Enter (⌘ + Enter on Mac) runs it, from the list or from the page.
How it works
- Keep all 26 birds or choose the Backyard birds or Water birds preset.
- Spin and read the name of the bird.
- Draw it, find a photo, or look for it on your next walk.
What people use it for
Drawing practice
Draw the bird that lands, from memory first, then compare with a photo.
Birdwatching game
Spin before a walk: the bird you get is the one everyone hunts for.
Classroom report
Give each student a different bird to research.
