The camera turns on automatically when the motion detector senses a bird, a squirrel or my husband loading the feeder.

I can turn it on through my phone app and also use the intercom feature to yell at squirrels, adjust the alarm, etc.

Here's the one we bought:

This is our first experience with a smart feeder so I can't speak with authority about how good this one is, but we like it so far and the sale price is very good. :)

I was just going to ask you about this, @Medusa! I may get one for my father down in Florida. He's 92, very active, etc., but he's very hard to buy for. I really think he would enjoy something like this.

His birthday was in October, and of course Christmas has just passed, so there's no gift-giving days coming up, but I may get him one "just because" when finances permit. (I have to pay my quarterly taxes and monthly health insurance premium first. :cautious: )

Oh, awesome! My oldest son lives in South Florida and there are some very pretty birds there. :)

There you go! 😁 :LOL: 😁
You can get creative.....
and you need to ☺️ as a mere adult human, who is trying to influence a squirrel.

Sorry, I missed this earlier. So true. In just the span of today they have become more bold and now I have to actually go outside to scare them away. I'm starting to look like a crazy lady yelling at the squirrels and literally chasing them around my lawn!

Hot seed arrives tomorrow and I have that squirrel baffle on 'save' in my cart.

they look like they're having a discussion about the camera

It sure does! 😁😆😄

They are also likely discussing that odd looking cheesecake.🙃🫠🤣☺️

I didn't grow up eating anything like that, did you?

Do you think it's safe to taste it?

I don't know; you go first!

😊😄😂

Then she came back in the brighter sun.

I'm wondering when her mate is going to stop in. I know he's around.

We have ordered the seed with hot pepper oil and it should be here in a couple days. Meanwhile, my fight with the squirrels continues. I've yelled at a few of them over the intercom today and the alarm, which is now my voice yelling at them, seems to be working to some extent.

We put some suet on the pokey thing today as well and I'm hoping that attracts some Blue Jays. @Imogene, I love the Blue Jays. :) And I would really love to see a Woodpecker!

@Kaila, the seed with the pepper oil doesn't seem to cost much more, from what I can tell looking at Amazon's prices.

@PeppermintPatty, when I looked up the squirrel baffle on Amazon, it showed me something that is basically a Slinky. I can see how it would cause problems for the squirrels trying to climb up or over poles. We might get a set if the hot seed isn't enough.


I mean, seriously, Dude?

:mad::mad: I admit it, I'm having dark thoughts about squirrels right now. :mad::mad:

It is funny though, when I press the intercom and yell at them, how they freak out and leap off the feeder. 😂

She will probably come back everyday. I hope the male comes round too.
 
My son just came in from walking the dog, quite rattled, asking if he could have a look at the settings for the bird feeder.

Apparently, when he was coming in, giving Lucius a few more minutes in the yard, the bird feeder started yelling at them to get out of the yard!

He said it scared the hell out of both of them. He said, "The @#!@$! bird feeder just scared the cr*p out of the dog and I, yelling at me to get out of my own yard! 😂 🤣

So, we've turned the alarm off for the night. Also, I'm a bit worried about the neighbors if the alarm is that loud.

The irony is that it doesn't seem to be bothering the squirrels much anymore. :/
 
Perhaps you don't need the alarm.

It's true that squirrels very quickly learn whether a sound is accompanied by an actual threat. If not, they ignore it totally.
