Bird Song
The original Bird Song skill for Alexa
The original Bird Song skill for Alexa
Bird Song is a serene and entertaining skill that plays hundreds of different bird songs and calls. You can ask for a specific bird ("Alexa, ask Bird Song for a melodious blackbird"), a general bird ("Alexa, ask Bird Song for a blackbird"), or have Alexa select a random bird for you ("Alexa, ask Bird Song for a random bird").
To hear a continuous stream of bird songs, just say, "Alexa, ask Bird Song for a song stream." Bird Song will then play one bird song after another until you say "Alexa, stop." On an Alexa device with a screen -- such as the Echo Show or Spot -- song stream now shows the name of the bird currently singing. No other streaming skill offers this on-the-fly bird-identification feature!
For even more fun, ask Bird Song for a game to see how good you are at identifying birds by their voice alone.
