Bird in the Hand for iOS Description

The old proverb A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, is usually about balancing the risks of the known with the unknown. Not in this case! With this app you can be sure of having not one, but 23 birds in your hand when you next head bush. The Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service has partnered with Geometry Pty Ltd and some of Australias best photographers and sound recordists to produce a beautiful and professionally produced App. The App covers 23 of Tasmanias common and endemic birds and includes bird calls, high quality pictures and information on their habitat, breeding, diet etc. Use the App while out bush to work out which call is which. The island of Tasmania is Australias smallest and most Southern State. It is one of the worlds special places. Over 40% of the island is reserved for conservation (over 440 reserves) and 20% of the State is listed as World Heritage. The island is a haven for birdlife, including the very rare Orange-bellied parrot (under 200 birds remain in the wild). For more info on Tasmanias reserves and wildlife, see the Parks and Wildlife website: www.parks.tas.gov.au. So check out this app, offer suggestions (to iphone@parks.tas.gov.au) and let us know if you have any really high quality Tasmanian bird photos or vocalisations that we can include in our V 2.0 release, which were aiming to make available before Xmas 09. For V 2.0 we will add more detailed information as well as more endemic and common birds. Long term we aim to have all of Tasmanias endemic and common birds covered. In the future we are also planning to make other applications available covering Tasmanias native wildlife and National Parks. Available for iPhone and iPod touch, OS version 3 or higher.
