#BirdBuddy
Good morning! Two-for-one special this morning on house finches. I love this spot for my #BirdBuddy, I usually catch another bird on the branch. Not the clearest pic but still cute. #backyardbirds #birdsofmastadon

Good morning! My beloved tufted titmouse has finally come back to the feeder just in time for Fall. I love all the birds, but chickadees and titmice are amongst my faves. Look how cute! (And he was sure to let me know we are out of water again!) #birds #BirdsOfMastodon #BirdWatching #BirdBuddy

My next door neighbor cat Gomez tried valiantly to defend my #BirdBuddy, but ultimately failed. The raccoon (I think?!) climbed the tree, knocked the Bird Buddy down and proceeded to gorge himself. 🤣🤦🏻♀️ #cats #wildlife

I'd like to thank the rain drops on my Bird Buddy's camera for causing these HORRIFYING pictures of a cardinal

How adorable. I love chickadees. He’s like hello? Is this thing on? You forgot to fill the water back up! 🎶 #birds #birdbuddy

He looks like I do when my kids try to talk to me before I’ve had my coffee. 🤣 #birds #BirdBuddy

Good morning! We’re testing out a new water bottle for the Bird Buddy. This black-capped chickadee seems to like it. 🥰 #birds #BirdsOfMastodon #BirdBuddy



I'll leave the #BirdBuddy inside until I get a better squirrel strategy. Or until spring, when there are more birds and I can hang it high on the balcony again.
Seriously though, it's annoying to get continuously notified that the same animal is hanging out on the feeder. Supposedly that will be fixed in a future software update.

After 54 (!) phone notifications for pictures of the same damn squirrel, I took the #BirdBuddy down. Doing this, I managed to break off some plastic and dump the entire contents of the seed container on the ground. Looking at the pile of black sunflower seed on the dirt, I guessed the squirrel accomplished his mission.
1/n

I thought this might happen. After moving the #BirdBuddy, this morning, I've had 54 pictures of squirrels. (Or maybe just 1 squirrel. 🤪

Mr. Cardinal seems quite intent on showing me his floofy backside. 🤣 #birbs #BirdBuddy #BirdsofMastodon

I moved my #BirdBuddy from our front stoop to a wooded common area in our complex. I've had the feeder in a couple of locations over the last 6 weeks with no photos.
Hopefully this will be a better setting and no neighbors will notice or complain.

Ach wie schön, nachdem die Sperlinge das Buffet endlich mal wieder geräumt haben, hat sich seit langem auch mal wieder die Kohlmeise, die erste Besucherin des birdbuddy's, hingetraut. Willkommen kleine Freundin!

This great tit just made my day a million times better! 😇 Picture courtesy of my Bird Buddy feeder. 📸#birdbuddy

The #BirdBuddy community on Facebook is apparently losing their minds about birds molting. 🤣 I'm seeing more reactions to the freakouts than actual freakouts, though.
(It does seem early to me, but it's certainly a thing that happens.)
Hallo? Seit wann gibt's denn am vegetarischen Buffet Beef? 😜🤔
Da war der Spatz mit dem Besuch des Feldsperlings aber nicht so richtig einverstanden? 😳

Über die smarte #Futterstation für Vögel, den #BirdBuddy, haben wir hier im Blog bereits berichtet. Nun ist das #Futterhäuschen auch flächendeckend verfügbar und kann ohne Vorbestellung direkt geordert werden. Bedingt durch die verbesserte Verfügbarkeit des Bird Buddys konnten auch wir die smarte Futterstation samt #Kameramodul nun endlich selbst testen. Unsere ersten Eindrücke des Bird Buddy findet ihr hier:

We’ve never gotten an adult Woodhouse’s scrub-jay (though I see them in the yard a lot), but we’ve now gotten multiple visits to our #BirdBuddy from a juvenile (or more than one?). I wonder if the adults just don’t change their feeding habits, so now we’ll start to get this next generation moving forward.

I was so excited to see a #BirdBuddy notification! It was a reminder to charge the battery. 😮💨
I need to move it down from the 2nd floor balcony to the patio.

Eben einen jungen Besucher beim #BirdBuddy entdeckt, der leider scheinbar ein ziemlich lädiertes Bein hat.

I hadn’t appreciated how competitive sparrows are before we got the #BirdBuddy
Guten Morgen, ich würde gerne mit Ihnen über gesunde Ernährung sprechen!

It's nice that Larry the Twitter Bird has been given asylum at BirdBuddy and can continue to live there carefree and enjoy his retirement.

Guten Morgen! Erstmal Kaffee und Frühstück... 😉

Huh. Anyone know what this bird is? My best guess is a young jay, but I’m not confident of that. We have both Stellar’s and Woodhouse’s Scrub-Jays here. #BirdBuddy

Good morning! Let's have some joint breakfast, since we are also already sharing the trees...

These two come to feeder every day. What a treat #birdfeeder #birdbuddy #MNastodon

That grosbeak’s kinda a jerk, but what a great little video from the #BirdBuddy!

We finally got something other than a black-headed grosbeak at the new #BirdBuddy in New Mexico! And it’s the first species to overlap with the Bird Buddy in Baltimore: a house finch.

This morning the question is: who is spying on who?

I've been mostly skimming through the house finch results on my #BirdBuddy (there are *so many*), but this super close-up "I will investigate the camera _with my beak_" one just got me. 😆

Oh hey! We finally got the female grosbeak on camera! Pretty sure she’s mated to the male that we’ve got a bunch of pictures of now. She’s been hanging out near the feeder, but this is the first time she’s actually stopped to eat. #BirdBuddy

Hmm, for some reason, #BirdBuddy has started occasionally misidentifying black-headed grosbeaks as spotted towhees. We do have both here, and they are somewhat similar looking from certain angles, but the towhees have yet to visit the feeder (and I don’t think they’re likely to). Hopefully correcting it will train the AI to better distinguish between them.

Already back for the fifth time this morning, possibly just to pose for the camera… #BirdBuddy
The bird in question. (A black-headed grosbeak). #BirdBuddy
Excellent. Should be getting our first pictures from the new #BirdBuddy any minute!
I hadn’t noticed those green patches before. I wonder if that’s the camera being sensitive to UV outside the normal visual spectrum. #MourningDove #BirdBuddy
Food fight! Got a couple of stunning shots from this interaction between 2 sparrows and a cardinal!
Hi friends I am back to hopefully enjoy this lovely place on the net. Here mostly for #gaming but I sometimes post #birds from my #birdbuddy
Look at this young bluebird! What a cutie, I love them! 💙🧡 #birds #BirdBuddy
My Bird Buddy came!!! And the first visitor (not captured because we were watching the livestream) was a bluebird!!! #birds #SoExcited #BirdBuddy

BirdBuddy has a new (already funded) Kickstarter for a smart hummingbird feeder, a smart bird bath(!!), and a "conservation station" for hanging those and the original BirdBuddy bird feeder. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mybirdbuddy/bird-buddy-the-summer-of-birds #BirdBuddy #kickstarter #birds
First #BirdBuddy visitor since I changed the food to something the [expletive deleted] sparrows aren't supposed to like
I love the action shots! Too bad it's not quite sharp nor in focus.
#birdbuddy
@Dtl @Edent I keep meaning to do this to add to the #BirdBuddy that has been taking photos for the past few months
After weeks of tweaking and moving it around (and even extending the WiFi with an extra antenna), my #BirdBuddy is finally in a spot where it can connect to the WiFi and where the birds can find it (and the cats can't easily reach it).
First visitor: the great tit.

Love how birds look like they're designed by those artists that have one feature they don't like drawing so they just make it super tiny.
"Fuck legs. You get sticks. Idiot."
