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

  1. Keep all 26 birds or choose the Backyard birds or Water birds preset.
  2. Spin and read the name of the bird.
  3. 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.
