Fugler i nærmiljøet: A Comprehensive Birdwatching App
Fugler i nærmiljøet, also known as "Birds in the Local Environment," is an Android app developed by the University of Stavanger for students of kindergarten teacher education and other bird enthusiasts. The app features a wide selection of the most common birds found in Norwegian nature, complete with descriptions, pictures, and examples of their sounds. The app aims to help users recognize and identify these birds by providing comprehensive information about their appearance and behavior.
In addition to the bird profiles, Fugler i nærmiljøet also includes two quizzes to test and train your own bird identification skills. The app also features two charts: "Most can fly," which explains the anatomical and physiological adaptations that enable birds to fly, and "Where on the bird," which teaches users how to name the various parts of a bird. Background literature is listed under "Read more." All content must be downloaded after installing the app.
Overall, Fugler i nærmiljøet is an excellent app for anyone interested in birdwatching or learning more about Norway's avian fauna.
