Birdwatching Notebook places a small birding area on your desktop. Decorate a habitat and wait for birds to visit while the game runs alongside other activities.
Watch visiting birds walk, fly, feed, preen, and perform other behaviors, then use your camera to photograph them. A notebook records species, traits, behaviors, and photos, giving you ways to learn about the birds as they become more comfortable with repeat visits.
Collect feathers and other drops, trade them for coins, and spend those coins on upgrades, decorations, and structures that can attract birds. Unlock additional birding areas with different scenery and species; you can also adjust the time and weather, save or share layouts, and visit other players’ spots as a bird.
In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy the detailed bird animations, the species notebook, and the relaxed experience of watching a habitat from the desktop. Decorating and photographing birds also appeal to many reviewers, though players pursuing complete photo collections describe long waits for rare visits or specific behaviors. Some reviews also criticize missing cloud saves, building limitations, and desktop or photo-related problems.
