Smart Bird Feeder with Species Recognition

Post by /RaspberryPi »

I wanted to share a little project ive been putting together for a bit with everyone in this awesome community in hopes of bringing some more attention to the software and making it all better in the end.

We moved into a new house a few years back and there is a big window in the dining room and my kids are always intrigued by the birds and always ask what kinds of birds there are, etc. I know Bird Buddy is a thing but who wants to spend multiple $100s on a bird feeder when there are awesome projects by /u/mmcc73 like WhosAtMyFeeder and BirdCAGE out there already?

I stumbled across those two projects on /r/selfhosted and then basically combined a Pi 3b, WhosAtMyFeeder and Frigate into a 3d printed bird feeder design i found elsewhere and modified to my needs into a smart bird feeder that my kids totally dig!

Right now its early days on the design and im still making improvements but figured i would get it out into the community and see if others dug it as well.

Here is a link to it on Printables in case anyone wants to build one and/or remix it.
