I enjoy this game and it's interaction level. I hope it will be developed for iPad. There are so many other possibilities. This one is for birds but how about a safari? Or a tourist destination where you could take your own snapshots?
Don't stop!
Please advise me when the next version is out... I'm on board!

I recommend this game!

Another one of BFG's hidden gems, Bird Island is in a category of its own. You travel around the US in your lost grandfather's foot steps, meeting up with many of his rather eccentric birding friends. They give you photo assignments and help you in your quest to find out, what actually happened to him.

Another one of BFG's hidden gems, Bird Island is in a category of its own. You travel around the US in your lost grandfather's foot steps, meeting up with many of his rather eccentric birding friends. They give you photo assignments and help you in your quest to find out, what actually happened to him.

The characters you meet are funny with various quirks and personalities.

Taking the perfect photo becomes a challenge, even with all the helpful equipment you get along the way. There are many different environments to visit and LOTS of birds to capture in different situations. Especially getting a five star shot of particular birds in flight takes practice - and sheer dumb luck.

Despite the photo sessions being timed, the overall mood of the game is cosy and relaxing. The music is a delight and just hearing it has a soothing effect. And a big Thank you to the devs for leaving it off during photo sessions, allowing the player to actually hear the birds. Nice!

Only small gripe: The feature of creating your own bird and "releasing it", both in your game and to other players, doesn't seem to work anymore.

Anyway, if you are looking for a change from all the usual types of game or need to unwind with a game-equivalent of a hot toddy, then this is for you. Show less

I started playing the free hour and once I got the hang of using the camera and changing lenses, etc. I had a blast. It very was entertaining and a challenge. I plan on getting the full version. I've never played a game quite like this before and tried to find more after playing the trial version.

I recommend this game!

I've had this game for years, and it's still one of my favorites to play and replay and replay. It's challenging, particularly if you free-play and try to get five-star shots of every bird (darn you, black-capped vireo!) in both poses. It's relaxing, with soft music and birdsong. It's educational...I now recognize numerous birds in real life that I never would have without this game, both by sight ...Show more

It's educational...I now recognize numerous birds in real life that I never would have without this game, both by sight and sound. And it's fun!! I would love it if there were a sequel...safari, spy, sports...there are so many concepts that would lend themselves to a photography game. My favorite thing about this game is that it requires all the skill of a first-person shooter, with none of the violence. Show less

This game needs a sequel. I would love to see a version for exotic birds. I had alot of fun playing this. It's such a shame there were never anymore games in this series. I loved that you got a large variety of birds to take pics of. And you can zoom in to see them up close. You get some tools that help you get better shots. And there are many different locations.

This game needs a sequel. I would love to see a version for exotic birds. I had alot of fun playing this. It's such a shame there were never anymore games in this series. I loved that you got a large variety of birds to take pics of. And you can zoom in to see them up close. You get some tools that help you get better shots. And there are many different locations. Sadly, because the game is so old, the bird sharing features no longer work. You can make a bird, but it won't share. I really think this series should be revived. There could be sequels not just of birds, but maybe an underwater fish version, and an above ground zoo or wildlife version. If you want a game that's challenging, but non violent and relaxing, this is it. The storyline is simple, and mostly you just take pics of the birds, but they make it challenging. You have to get certain shots of them like flying or eating. It's not always that easy. Show less

It's always been a great fun game for me, it,s been around for some time. It's to bad you can't release and download birds you have created anymore and you can no longer download birds others create.
