I don't know... I've been bird watching for a long time. One happens to live in my house with me, and I'm absolutely not indifferent to him!
"Hey, is that a blue quaker parrot!?"
Funny story, the bird in the meme I posted, the "yellow-rumped warbler", is the one f***ing bird that my BirdBuddy feeder both never can figure out and is also is buried so far back in their list that it takes me an inordinate amount of time to correctly identify.I don't know... I've been bird watching for a long time. One happens to live in my house with me, and I'm absolutely not indifferent to him!
"Is this a black-naped Oriole?" NOOOO. They live in Asia and I told you this is in North Carolina! Fix your list!!!
Oh, and a common comment from people... "Why do you want a bird as a pet? You can't cuddle with a bird!"
My reaction? "You've obviously never had a bird! Birds LOVE to cuddle!"
My reaction? "You've obviously never had a bird! Birds LOVE to cuddle!"
(I've had feeders for near 40 years)

Maybe that is why it's the left hand, so he's not? (Unless the guy is left handed that is...)

It’s both fun at times and also a chore. Cool to see the birds we get on that feeder vs the ones on our other feeders. We have one with a solar roof, but have to remove the camera unit regularly to charge it in the house anyway. It is easy to do, but still is another thing to keep track of. The software interface works really well, but is tedious. Each time a bird image or video is captured, we get a “post card” in the app. To view the bird, we then have to click on it through an animation, then go through a process of identification of the bird if it isn’t automatically recognized (hello yellow-rumpled warbler) and the a decision process of keep or discard and if keep, share or private. It gets old, to be honest. The videos that are captured are not very good. The quality is fine but they are often more than two minutes long with the bird in them for often much less than half the time.
I probably wouldn’t buy it if I was doing it over knowing what I know now. I prefer to sit on our front porch and watch the birds on our other feeders from my porch swing.
And the bane of my existence:
Before I put the squirrel baffle on the post to the feeder, it is all we got. But because of the size of the feeder’s perch, we got mostly images of its butt.

Is it really because of the size of the perch, or are they smarter than you think and they're sending you a message?

Pushing 50 sometimes I fell old, then I come to HF26 to read about your bird feeders and all of the sudden I feel like a teen again!
I used to like watching the birds at my feeder, and so did my cat, but my HOA said that we weren't allowed to have bird feeders or put any seed out. So I just see the same few birds all the time. I must say though, that the towhees in the neighborhood really liked my Christmas wreath on my front door and twice I had towhees get into the house when they were sitting on the wreath and I opened the front door. My cat was very happy.

Can I have "neighborhoods I probably wouldn't want to live in for $100 Alex?"
It wasn't that way when I moved in. It just changed last year. Someone complained.
and said that the bird feeders were attracting rats...
