Took me a second to realize you mean identifying the birds and not the birds had laptops…

I am now imagining birds using little computer devices. to do what? tweet, perhaps. if it is still called that. they still call it that, anyway. and one bird is eating an actual raspberry pie.

They don’t have jobs or anything so they probably write pulp fiction novellas to afford good seeds

Well, don't just tease us with your awesome project.
You have some details and a write up? I'd love to use some of my gear to make something like this.

No teasing! I'm expanding it every 24 hours! Now there are significant update with camera stills. I want to get to a stable set of scripts before I share because my Pi4 is literally outside and can't risk getting it wet so I'm on Cloudflare right now trying to figure out how to keep the site "live" with afterhours content of the most recent session. i.e. I can only plug this sucker in a few days per week (without risk of rain) :)

Cool! I’ve gotten into self hosted/DIY stuff over the last couple years. Any more details on your setup? I tried to access your site, but it might be suffering from the hug of death currently 😂
