Got some goldfinches and house finches, some house sparrows, a bunch of mourning doves, a tufted titmouse, a chickadee, a downy woodpecker, a cardinal, and the first blue jay that’s ever visited my feeder!

I am so jealous. You and @Earl.Automation keep posting these wonderful shots of your birds. I gave my better half a wyze bird Feeder for her birthday a month ago. We have both been watching the Feeder for a treasure trove of winged songbirds.
In 30 days all we have seen is pepe Le pew
We think he is a baby possum.
If I don’t see any birds soon I’m going to return it:rofl:

Don’t let me fool you. I get more videos of squirrels than anything.
Also, anyone know why the audio on the battery cam pros have an echo like quality to them?
You know I read about that somewhere about the echo and just tried it in my bird Feeder. No echo–but I am using a v4 with a solar panel. Double checked on my WBCP facing the driveway–and yes, there is an echo.
Note: full volume on an S21 Ultra.

That looks like Cat Heaven.
Do your kitties look out the window with nostalgia?

They do, but they’re afraid of the outside now (and I’m glad for it since Abed ran away from us 2 days after we adopted him and it took us 2 days to trap him in a squirrel trap).

Here’s the video (non wyze) of the night he was captured.
They’re about a year and a half old now. We adopted them on 10/7/23, Abed escaped 10/9/23, and this video was taken 10/11/23. Keep in mind that I had had major surgery 8/11 and was still not quite 100%, but my husband and I walked all over the neighborhood every evening while he was gone. Probably close to 3 miles walked each night the first 2 nights. I was so distraught. That third night we opted to set the trap after we caught him on camera in the backyard on the second night.
They’re not little babies anymore, and Abed is definitely not afraid of us anymore.

Uh oh, @R.Good is going to faint in revulsion and disappointment when he sees the watermark of the other brand you have!

I’ve been with them for my home security system since they were APX. I was a beta home for some of their first smart home products. I only have the 1 camera with them, and it’s only because I didn’t have a way to put a Wyze Cam back there (no outlets, and didn’t want to hire an electrician). Vivint ran the wiring for free.

I have many of the same birds coming to my feeders. I’ve also had Chickadees, Red-Bellied woodpeckers and Northern Flickers.
Because of the tray with sunflower seeds, there have been 5 or 6 squirrels hanging out.

Where is the dive bomber Hawk, did it have the day off? 
Good question. Because my neighborhood is a little older, I suspect there are lots of feeders to patrol. I’ve seen it twice only because the feeders are literally 6 feet from my recliner. When I see everything scatter in a panic, I go back and review the recording.

I’d be tempted to point a camera upward to catch the predator diving bird sometimes.

I am feeling the urge to buy a bird feeder.

You broke it for me. I am glad iguanas don’t frequent this forum.
Do it. You’d be surprised how fast you get into it. I use a couple of apps to help me track the birds I see. I get super excited for new ones that come that I haven’t seen at my feeder before. Merlin is a great app that helps you identify birds by sight and sound. There’s a really neat feature that will audio record, and in real time identify the bird by sound. Ebird is the app I use to track my sightings. I also joined project feeder watch through the Cornell Lab for this winter to help them track bird migrations and populations.
I saw a meme the other day and I wish I’d saved it but it said
“One day you’re young and carefree, and the next you’re saying ‘holy S#!t is that a Tufted titmouse?’”
They’re fun to watch. Cardinals are bullies, but they’re sweet to their mates. Mourning doves are the least graceful, but tend to come in pairs. Tufted titmouses grab a piece of food and fly off really quick, making multiple trips. Finches and sparrows come in small groups, typically.

Thanks for the encouragement. I will save off your information for consideration.
If I provide food, do I need to provide a birdbath?
I guess I have reached the titmouse stage.

Geez…I didn’t realize there were so many things. Here I was thinking Wyze talking about a Bird subscription would just be to identify what kind of bird it is likely to be in an event and that’s it. Now I wonder if they might actually do something more extensive, like save a thumbnail of each new species they detect to store in a date/time stamp log journal with the bird’s picture and identification, then maybe list how many days that species visited you in the last year or whatever. They could even use the audio recording to help.
I wonder what other features they could do.
Here I was just pulling up an event on my Wyze Bird feeder and then longpressing the navigation handle on Android to activate Google Gemini/Lens Circle to Search feature, and then just circling the bird on the screen to have Google tell me what bird it probably is at my feeder based on similar pictures it finds online of the same kind of birds.
I was getting some pretty lesser Goldfinches until a Magpie started stealing all the food.
