Okay, so I finally caved and got this smart bird feeder after seeing it all over my feed. And wow - it's like having a nature documentary in my backyard!
The 2K camera is insane. I can literally see individual feathers when the cardinals visit. The AI bird ID is spooky accurate too - it knew we had a rare indigo bunting before I even Googled it!
Setup took maybe 10 minutes? The app walked me through everything. Pro tip: charge the battery fully first (learned that the hard way). The metal construction feels premium, and that little bird bath on top? Total game changer - the robins go nuts for it.
Only gripe is the subscription for full features, but honestly? Worth it. My mom and I now have a daily competition to spot the coolest birds. Yesterday's highlight was a pileated woodpecker in 4K glory!
If you're even slightly into birds, just get it. Your inner David Attenborough will thank you.
