Get HyperCard for the Apple IIGS.  It can do everything you
list.  In my opinion, HyperCard is a very powerful multimedia
database for the IIGS.  In fact, one of the sample stacks
included IS a starter bird stack with info, picture, and bird
song.

You can download the HyperCard disks through the AOL
Apple II Forum's link to Apple's offering of IIGS System
Software.  This includes System 6.0.1 but also has the
full HyperCard IIGS 1.1 program.
