According to David Attenborough, “live feeds serve as a means of lifeline and communication between us, and the natural world”. With such superstar sanction, it’s no wonder Bird Buddy bird feeders are doing so well crowdfunding on Kickstarter.
The maker of a ‘smart bird feeder’, which notifies you when birds come by, takes pictures of them, and even organises these pictures, has quite significantly overfunded it £45K target. With another winter lockdown on the horizon, its ‘daily bite-sized connections with nature’ come as a welcome antidote.
Equipped with AI, Bird Buddy is able to recognise over 1,000 breeds of bird – even just from the variety of tweeting noise they’re making.
