About Meadow & Feather

A calm game about watching real birds. Fill the feeders, wait, look around and take their photo.

Real birds, real places

• 118 real species in 11 habitats around the world. Every bird is a real photograph shared by a birder on iNaturalist, and every photographer is named on our credits page.
• Every habitat is a real 360 degree photograph from Poly Haven, a free library of photographs of real places.
• Facts (size, diet, nest, range, song, status) are checked against All About Birds from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the IUCN Red List. Found a mistake? hello@meadowandfeather.com and we will fix it the same day.
• The game follows real rules: the right food brings the right bird, and every animal needs food, water, cover and a place to raise young.

Calm on purpose

Feeders empty slowly in real time, so a few quiet minutes a day is all it takes. Nothing pushes you to keep playing, there is nothing to buy and nothing runs out while you are away.

Free

The game is free in your browser. In the future, ads may help keep it free; our privacy policy will say so before any ad appears.

For teachers and nature groups

Teachers, bird clubs and nature centers are welcome to use it. See For teachers for lesson ideas.
