BirdGarden

Make a little room for nature.

A cozy bird-garden game for iPhone. Put out food, choose garden items and grow plants to welcome real European garden birds. Collect the gifts they leave, learn their favourite things and turn visitors into friends.

Coming soon to the App Store. The beta runs through Apple TestFlight.

The BirdGarden app icon: a round European robin on a wooden post

A garden that grows with you

Play at your own pace. There are no chores to catch up on, and nothing dies or wilts while the app is closed.

Feed and grow

Fill the feeder, place garden items and sow plants that grow from seedlings to flowers, seed heads and berries.

Make friends

Every bird has favourite things. Visitors leave little gifts, and trusted friends give you keepsakes.

Fill your journal

Discover 12 species, listen to their real songs and collect fun facts in your field journal.

Raise a family

Watch nesting birds build a home, raise their chicks and welcome a new generation to your garden.

Three corners to explore

A feeder corner, a leafy hedgerow and a wildflower meadow, each with its own birds, plants and hiding places.

The Feeder Corner: a bird table, a seed feeder, a birdbath and a nest box on a tree, with a card announcing a new friend, the Blue Tit

Where it all begins

Hang a peanut feeder, fill the bird table and put out a bath. The first visitors arrive within minutes, and every newcomer gets a little celebration.
