Why it matters
Consumer technology guides help buyers navigate the growing market of smart home devices, balancing cost with functionality.
Birds don’t even know you exist, nor would they care about you if they did. In this era of everything all the time, it’s almost life-affirming to interact with a being who has a brain the size of a garbanzo bean, that isn't able to drive or vote.
There are probably entertaining dramas playing out in your yard right now that you don’t even know about. Mine include a crow with one eye and a greedy Steller’s jay that fills his crop with peanuts until it’s translucent.
Now that smart bird feeders have been around since 2020, even moderately priced models come with high-resolution cameras, 4K video recording, and AI ID that rarely misses. Many of them require minimal maintenance other than filling the seeds. (As long as you're following the 5-7-9 rule of pole-mount placement, to keep squirrels away.)
