We are extremely excited about a fantastic new project that will put thousands of free bird quizzes on the Internet! This is a joint venture between WildBirds.com and Thayer Birding Software.
We hope to have 5,000 quizzes and 50,000 photos on-line within 5 years. But we need your help to make this happen!
We prepared a series of web pages at WildBirds.com to show you what is happening. Just click the Quizzes Tab on that web site to see all the details.

Three Types of Quizzes
The new Online Bird Quizzes will let you take three different types of quizzes.
You can select a Multiple Choice Quiz - you see a photo and then pick the bird's name from five different answers.
You can select a Pick One Quiz - you see a bird's name and four different photos. Click on the correct photo.
You can select a Flash Card Quiz - you see a new bird photo every eight seconds. You have five seconds to guess the bird's name before we show you the correct answer.

5,000 Quizzes
You will be able to select from thousands of quizzes. There will be quizzes on Birding Hot Spots, Bird Families, Christmas Bird Counts, and even Fun Quizzes.
World birds will be available as well. You can select any Continent and then look at the quizzes for that part of the world. Imagine being able to quiz yourself before heading off on an exotic birding trip to Costa Rica, Kenya or Australia!
After selecting a Quiz you will be able to set the Quiz difficulty level to Easy, Intermediate or Hard. When you select "Hard" your quiz will include all birds. Selecting "Easy" will throw out birds that are very difficult for beginning birders to identify. We want these quizzes to be fun for six-year olds as well as experienced world birders!
