No! No! A thousand times no! You don't need a special plastic feeder with a camera and an app and streaming and wifi and router settings and special feed and a subscription... just feed the birds! Feed the birds, watch the birds - it's great! Job done! Get a cup and a length of string, hang the cup by the handle, put food in the cup. Job done. Birds come and eat food, you watch birds. That's it. Where I live, I can by a sack of 20kg sunflower seeds for <£10. That lasts a year. Go mad, buy a couple of feeders, another £10. You're done.
Stand by for a shocking revelation: Not everything has to be streamed live or shared online! Just feeding the birds and watching them for a few minutes is it's own reward. Share a few private moments with your feathered friends. I've been doing it since the year dot, have taken a ton of photos and not shared a single one online - and yet, I live! The Sun comes up every morning, the world turns, the birds get fed and make it through the winter. Nobody makes and money or is influenced in any way. Good grief.... I really despair some days, and then along comes a thing like this, and I realise everything is much, much worse than I suspected.
