Why nature sounds?
A growing body of research connects birdsong and time in nature with wellbeing. But for many people in care settings, getting outside isn't easy. Terra comes to you.
It isn't a recording on a loop — it is live, local and always changing. It can provide the excitement of discovery, or the peaceful grounding of a natural environment.
Terra is stimulating without being distracting, and can promote relaxation and calm.
Where Terra fits
Senior living & assisted living
A live feed of the birds on your own grounds, on the community-room TV or a resident's own screen — familiar, local, and different every day.
Memory care
Birdsong is one of the sounds people carry longest. A window feeder plus a live species list gives residents and visiting family something easy and genuine to share.
Hospitals & rehabilitation
Bring the healing garden indoors for patients who can't get to it — live sound and sightings from your area, or from wild places around the world.
One station outside, every screen inside
- ✓ A Terra Station identifies birds and wildlife 24/7
- ✓ Free apps for Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, and Android TV put the live feed on any screen in the building
- ✓ Residents and family can follow your station from their own phones, anywhere
- ✓ Global feeds from Colombia, the Galápagos and the Pacific Northwest let you travel the world from wherever you are
Easy on staff, rich for programming
Setup takes about 20 minutes, and after that Terra runs itself — no birding expertise needed. Activities staff get a daily species list to build around: a "bird of the day" at lunch, a window-watching hour that actually has a checklist, a reason for a resident to be first with news. It works as well for one resident with a tablet as for a whole common room.
Home From Anywhere
Having a Terra at home lets patients stay connected to their own familiar yard.
