BirdBuddy: A State-of-the-art Feedercam

A camera that messages you when there’s an unusual bird at your feeder, identifies it for you, shows it to you, and asks if you want to photograph it? That’s the BirdBuddy! It uses artificial intelligence to recognize birds, knows the “regulars,” and texts you if it thinks there’s a visitor you don’t want to miss! The Bird Buddy was crowdfunded by more than 30,000 backers! Although this product is in production and not yet commercially available, it is destined to be a must-have by backyard birding addicts! In this episode, Dawn Hewitt, editor of Bird Watcher’s Digest, discusses this revolutionary feedercam with BirdBuddy’s co-creator Franci Zidar. This episode is sponsored by BirdBuddy.
