Birdsy allows you to record and identify birds & wildlife using AI

Bird watching or Birding is one of the fastest growing hobbies around the world. Birds are beautiful and fascinating creatures that can be found in any habitat including urban spaces. Getting to know wildlife up close engages us and enriches our daily lives. Unfortunately, the hobby of birding requires time and a lot of it. If you don’t have a lot of time on your hands but you are still fascinated by the nature of birds, then Birdsy is the right technology based solution for you.

How to attract maximum number of species

There are many species of birds that visit gardens but majority of them are song birds. Very broadly, you can split them into two groups simply by the shape of their beaks. If the beak is pointed (like a Robin bird), then bird’s nature of the food is invertebrates such as worms and insects. If the beak is more triangular (like a house sparrow), it is mainly used to crack open seed husks. The birds with pointed beaks can’t crack open the seed husks but they can eat the seeds if the husk is removed. This also shows that you need different types of feeders including ones that can be installed on the ground because birds such as Robins, that rely on invertebrates, typically feed on the ground.

You also need to pay attention to different types of foods available. Straight foods as the name suggests are seeds (wheat, niger, canary) that haven’t been mixed with anything else. With the exception of niger seeds and peanuts, straight seeds are best fed from a tube feeder. For niger seeds are so tiny so you need special feeder with very small ports to prevent the seed from running out. For peanuts, they should fed from a mesh feeder as having them lose on a feeder means that birds (like Robin) can swallow them whole causing choking hazard. If you choose a mixed seeds then it can do the job for many as long as you don’t include seeds with husks. Husk free seeds also help you if you are pressed for time as husks generate waste and promotes growth of harmful bacteria. On the other hand, Suet products are becoming increasingly popular as they come in variety of shapes and sizes including pellets, balls, and blocks that can be fed via mesh feeder, birds table, or ground feeder. Lastly, not enough people use live meal-worms to feed the birds but it is the best possible food to put out during the breeding and fledging season as it is full of moisture and protein. With the basics out of the way, let’s look at Birdsy and how it can be useful for your needs.

What is Birdsy?

Birdsy uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology to recognize species so that you can connect with nature and wildlife. With Birdsy, everyone can record, watch and share exciting wildlife content. Birdsy allows you to watch and identify birds at your feeder anytime, anywhere, on any device. Birdsy monitors your feeder 24/7 and records videos for you. Birdsy is an outdoor & weatherproof Wi-Fi camera for 24/7 recording & watching. It allows smooth and crisp bird videos in full HD 1080p @ 30 FPS. You also get free cloud storage so you can watch what happens live or browse videos by species or date from anywhere. The Birdsy app keeps a list of all wildlife that visit your feeder, you can favorite your best clips, share them on social media, as well as download and save your best wildlife videos.

Requirements for Birdsy

• Wi-Fi: You need a good Wi-Fi signal at your feeder for Birdsy to work reliably. If Wi-Fi at your feeder is weak, you can use a Wi-Fi extender to boost it.
• Power: The Birdsy Cam requires a permanent power source to stream 24/7 in HD. Extend the length of the camera’s power cable with an extension cable. The power adapter can be protected with a waterproof case .
