Neat! Others have mentioned language localization, but I think the main missing piece here is species localization. Of the first set of birds presented to me,

  Birds have accents, or at least their calls and songs vary by region. They're generally recognisable as being similar but sometimes it can be confusing. Throw in species like starlings or bluethroats (Luscinia svecica) which are accomplished mimics and life gets complicated. Still, it's a great idea. Just listening to a blackbird (Turdus merula) or song thrush (Turdus philomelos) singing on a nice Spring evening is life-affirming all by itself.

  The background of the game looks like northwestern France to me (what I would refer to as Brittany but I learned that from video games so idk if there's a more correct name). I'm assuming it's limited to birds there? I agree though if you are showing birds you should be super clear on the area since most people are most interested in learning birds they might see. There's a reason the eBird quizzes let you specify a time and location (and a few other parameters). All that being said it's a super cool game and makes me want to take another birding trip! Edit: just as an FYI for Americans using this: it doesn't look like it's using the names I'm familiar with always as an American (which I think are the ABA names). Americans will refer to these birds differently sometimes, the example I found was it mentioned a "common starling" but in the US I always see that bird called "European starling"
