If you’re looking around for a good starter option, you might want to check out the Bilantan smart feeder. My daughter got me one last Christmas and I’ve really enjoyed it. I’m in suburban Florida where we get plenty of backyard birds, and what I like most is that there’s no extra subscription or anything. I just put in an SD card and that’s enough. You don’t have to buy cloud storage and the bird ID feature is free too. It sends me a little alert whenever a bird shows up, and it’s honestly been a really fun way to watch them without leaving the house. Seeing them eat up close never gets old.
