5.0 out of 5 stars engage kids in the outdoors, August 3, 2004

By 

cheryl :: (takoma park, md) - See all my reviews

we bought this item at a bird refuge. it instantly engaged our kids in the adventure (we are definitely urban). as we saw birds, we found them on the cards, listened to the calls, and then indentified them in nature. and other times we heard calls and then listened thru the cards until we found the matching bird sound.

i think we eeked out another hour in the park with our 6/9 year olds due to this item. as well, they now quiz each other (when not fighting over it), and have become much more aware of the bird calls around them.

this will add fun to your family...and there is a volume control for those car tips! i highly recommend buying as many cards as you can since 3 is really not enough. and the frog calls are a hit as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, But Could Be A Little Louder, May 30, 2006

By 

Frank - See all my reviews

I've had my Birdsong Identiflier for a few years now and it works great especially with Chickadees And Cardinals that frequent my feeder. Warblers and other birds are a little harder to attract, but I have had luck with some rare birds. The bird calls are accurate and awesome and it's just great listening to them on their own to get to know a birds call.
My only complaints are the prices for the cards which I wish were a little less expensive. And for some reason some of the bird songs I have are too low to really attract the bird. Maybe they can release a louder microphone someday. But all in all I have enjoyed this wonderful product.

This review is from: Birdsong Identiflyer Portable Audio Birdsong Guide

I really liked the idea of the Identflyer and I wish I could give it 5 stars b/c it could be a great educational tool. However, the sound quality is not as good as it should be, especially for someone who is serious about learning the birdsongs and the unit is inefficient given that one must purchase a bunch of plastic cards individually. I enjoyed learning birdsongs using the Peterson's CDs and I wanted to give my 5 year old son a head start learning the songs. I purchased this for his birthday. He likes it but....the bird songs are deeper than they are in reality to the point that I don't think they resemble the true birdsongs in nature. Also, the unit would be more eco-friendly if all the birdsongs available were loaded up onto the unit instead of purchasing a bunch of plastic cards individually. Each card has only about 10 birdsongs on it. The technology is certainly available to do this AND still show a picture of the bird while listening to its song. If you must, charge more for the entire unit so the profits are still there. In my opinion, this will be a 5-star product if these 2 issues are addressed. Anything that encourages people to learn about nature is a good product in my opinion (thus the 3 stars).
