Clubs and classes

Watch birds together, even between field trips. A club in Meadow & Feather shares one weekly goal: how many different species can the whole group photograph by Sunday?

How a club works

1. One person creates the club. In the game, open Friends, then Clubs, pick a name made of nature words (for example "Cedar Hollow Birders") and press Create a club.
2. Share the club code. Members enter the code in the same place. Put it in your newsletter, on the board in class or in your group chat.
3. Photograph birds all week. Every member plays in their own habitats. Each new species any member photographs counts once for the whole club.
4. Watch the club board. It shows the shared goal, the species found so far and who added what. A fresh goal starts every Monday.

Open Friends and Clubs in the game

Good for

• Bird clubs and Audubon chapters: something to do together in winter or between walks, and an easy way to welcome new members who are just starting.
• Middle and high school teachers: a class code with a shared goal. Students play as guests: no account, no email, no names, only a nature-word name for each player. Players should be 13 or older.
• Nature centers and libraries: a weekly challenge for teen and adult programs, birding groups and visitors.
• Families and friends: a small club of two or ten works just as well.

Add the bird of the week to your site

This week it is the Great Kiskadee. The card changes by itself every Monday; copy the code once and it stays fresh. Get the code.
