Name 100 Birds — Feathers, Beaks, Go
Eagle, owl, parrot, penguin — everyone opens with the zoo greatest hits. The name 100 birds challenge gets real when you're thirty in and start mentally walking through a field guide: backyard feeders, farm birds, shorebirds, raptors, and the weird flightless ones.
Every answer is validated against a list of 200+ birds, from the house sparrow to the shoebill. Common names in plain English count — no Latin required — and umbrella answers like 'duck' and 'hawk' score alongside specific species like the bald eagle and the Atlantic puffin.
The winning strategy is habitat-hopping: your backyard, the farm, the pond, the seashore, the forest, the jungle, then the extinct and nearly-extinct celebrities. The name 100 birds quiz is equally kind to birdwatchers and to people who just really liked Finding Nemo.

Yes. Umbrella answers like duck, owl, eagle, and flamingo score, and so do specific species — mallard, barn owl, golden eagle, greater flamingo. Both are on the list.
Are extinct birds on the list?
The famous ones — the dodo is in, along with legends like the kakapo and California condor that came back from the brink.
What's the best strategy?
Work by habitat: backyard songbirds first, then farmyard, waterfowl, seabirds, birds of prey, tropical birds, and finally the flightless club — ostrich, emu, kiwi, cassowary, penguin.
