pokemon for old people

[ironymaiden]

my brother went in with me on a Bird Buddy for Mom. I set it up on Saturday and the birbs found it today. I showed the app to my nephew; he called it pokemon for old people and it totally is. the typing, the collecting, the fun facts, the cute - "Bird Unlocked" every time you get a new species.

the first "bird" was a squirrel, of course


then a house finch


and a song sparrow


Mom seems to be charmed.

Your nephew is right on the money! In a similar vein, I've been playing with the Merlin app to ID the birds that I can't see.

I'm an old person* and I have not heard of it but am intrigued and shall look it up. Thanks!

I am pretty sure that Pokemon is, also, Pokemon for old people. Having just restarted my account, the other day.
That said, mark me down for "did not know about this, will learn more" as well. Wondering if I can mount this outside one of my windows (Aglaia would be pleased, I think, if there were feathered visitors), and also, maybe my mom would like something like this. Investigations will commence.

That is great, they should use that as their tagline!
