This is such a cool project. My mom would absolutely love this if I made it as a gift. This may be a good project.
I was thinking the exact same thing!

#92Frigate, the IP camera security system, also does bird classification: https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/bird_classification...
Thanks for sharing. Didn’t know about this project. Have you used it yourself? I’ve only experimented with Scrypted for fun, but Frigate sounds like I could operate birdsong analysis without a separate BirdNET container.

#93This is the sweetest thing I've seen in a long time :')

#94Cool project! On a side note. How do people deal with all the ugly mess birds cause in such settings? I'd love to have such thing but seeing all the white stuff on glass door does not really feel fun to me overall.
What do you mean specifically? These birdsong analyzers are sensitive enough that they do not rely on setting up a feeder. It’s obviously dependent on where you live, but in the Nordics, living outside city centres is good enough for both background noise and birdsong from nearby trees/parks/forests. Privacy matters aside, setting a mic up on a balcony or window is enough. Another solution is feeding data from a chea…
Well I specifically meant having a bird feeder on a window or glass door for a chance to watch them live closely. That's why I put it as a side note ;)
You gave me few ideas for the analyzer setup too - thanks!

#96I just happen to have an extra Pi and an e-ink display sitting around and I LOVE this idea. Going to try it on my screened in porch - we typically get 10-20 Merlin detections on a decent day so this could be fun!

Another dev offers it as a full product. OOS at the moment though.
