The Bird Buddy

For Mormor and Morfars birthday I gave them a joint gift this year. I had kind of purchased it planning to gift it for Christmas, but then I decided that better they get it now, so that I could help them install it. I had bought them a Bird Buddy! 

This is a bird feeding house, with a camera powered by sunpanels on the roof; that is attached to an app where you can see all the birds visiting you, up close!

The app even tells you what species it is, and keeps a record for you of your visitors. It is very cool.

During the summer of course, there are not a lot of different visitors, but we received a Hawfinch, a European Bullfinch and a Great Tit quite quickly. It was really exciting every time a new bird came to the feeder!

The fun thing is that I can access the app from everywhere, so I can sit at home in Abu Dhabi and keep live track of the birds coming to feed. 

I am so looking forward to the winter season though - when hopefully MORE species will come visit the feeder.
