Can you name 100 birds?
Everyone can say “bird”. Fewer people can retrieve a hundred kinds with the field guide closed. The first twenty are garden furniture: robin, sparrow, eagle. Then you remember a silhouette and cannot retrieve the name on the sign.
This is that blank list. Type the bird; Wikidata checks whether it is a bird taxon. Mammals, fish, and insects belong on Name 100 Animals. Birds do not count on that list; other animals do not count here. Shared format: What is the Name 100 challenge?.
The bird, not the zoo
“Robin” counts. “Sparrow” counts. “Eagle” counts. “Bird” itself does not. A lion belongs on the wildlife list. Just finished the farm and ocean pass? Stay in the same habit: Try: Name 100 Animals.
What counts
- Type a common English bird name — “robin”, “sparrow”, “eagle”. Everyday names beat obscure Latin.
- Bird taxa in Wikidata count. Mammals, fish, insects, and the word “bird” do not. Those belong on Name 100 Animals or nowhere.
- Each bird once. Another spelling of the same Wikidata entry is rejected.
- No hard cutoff. Timer starts on your first submit. Finish anytime, or the round ends at 100.
How to Play
- Type a common English bird name and submit.
- We check Wikidata for bird taxa. Other animals fail.
- Aim for 100 unique birds. The timer runs up — no sudden cutoff.
- Hit Finish anytime to share your score.
Garden, then water, then raptors
Start with backyard names, then waterbirds, then birds of prey. After robin and sparrow, force a pass of ducks, owls, and seabirds. Keep common English names over genus Latin. Finished the sky list? Try Name 100 Animals for everything that is not a bird.
Frequently Asked Questions

Do mythical birds count?
No. Phoenix and similar belong on the character list if Wikidata files them as characters — not here.
