The birdsongs come from database of the British Library of London and the Museum für Naturkunde of Berlin (with the exception of the swallow cries graciously provided by Stanislas Wroza).

The birds are animated with talent by Jonathan Ozkurt.

A huge "gracias" to Carmen Boronat Badia for the Spanish translation!

Our warmest thanks go to Erik Escoffier and Xinxin Sun, for encouraging and supporting us when we only talked about birds all day long, as well as all our demanding and caring testers: Caro and Nico, Jules, Mélissa and Pierre, Thibault, Juliette and Lubin, the family and the friends…

Birdie Memory is recommended by the LPO (French branch of Birdlife International) as an awareness tool.
