About the Game

Designed by an Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalist and bird enthusiasts, Backyard Birdwatching is your virtual window to a relaxing afternoon feeding birds in a Midwestern backyard.

It's a simple, colorful idle game with light management elements that teaches you about birds native to the region and how to attract them to your yard.

  • Build your own birdwatching haven. Collect and spend resources to set up poles and fill your bird feeders to attract birds to your virtual backyard.

  • Observe a variety of bird species through your binoculars to unlock new feeders, seeds, and field guide entries with real facts about the birds.

  • Relax and watch the birds outside your window as they enjoy your little backyard bird retreat.
