Home Engineering: Bird Feeder That Automatically Takes Photos When Birds Feed
Posted on May 28, 2010 Comments (3)
During a trip to the Smithsonian last week I found this great home engineering project. Kayty Himelstein and Amy Darr were frustrated: birds came to their bird feeder while they were away at school, so the girls never got to see them. They decided to build a bird feeder that automatically takes pictures of all the birds that came to the feeder. I believe, they used Lego Mindstorms as part of building it.

LOVE the concept. Now, if there was a birdfeeder that slapped squirrels when they ignore their own food and go for the bird’s food.
