There are books about this, which you can study.
Go outside, identify the trees in your neighborhood and with time you will learn to identify them without the book.
You can show me a picture of a bird or leaf a dozen times, I won’t remember enough to tell it from other birds and trees. You show me a specific model car or motorcycle once and I can probably remember it forever.
I wonder if bird-brained people have the same experience traveling, doing a double-take every time they see something that don’t exist back home.
Well, there’s also apps you can use to scan a leaf and others to scan a recording of a bird song and it’ll tell you what it is with some accuracy. Combine this with a field manual (paper or digital) and you’ll learn it over time.
Try two dozen times then. And stop talking yourself out of it. If I can learn to identify cars when I once was so absolutely indifferent to them, you can do birds trees.
You’re the one standing in the way of yourself here.
I wish I had the brain power to identify trees or birds the way anyone can cars or motorcycles.

Just Google lens a tree every now and then, then try to spot as many of them as you can in the area, repeating it’s name each time.
Birds are a bit harder, but you can do it with patience.
