I want a recommendation for a high definition camera that I can mount on my window, plug in, and use to stream my bird feeders on line. Because I'm that dull!
I have 10 feeders and would love to share them with friends in real time. So it has to go to the internet and I have to figure out how to get it there. I expect it is not a you tube thing.
All advice appreciated!
Looks what I found. A possibility?

Whatever you get don’t get the same ones the FBI used to film the pipe bomber in DC.
Oops that one out of stock. This one maybe.
go pro has one… hero 13
I love the Go Pro 13.
Glad you like and I appreciate the compliments.
I found this little bird on a sidewalk and after a little bit, got the strength to fly.

Panasonic makes a Camera that mounts indoors on a window and it’s designed to monitor activity outside its called the HomeHawk.
L8r!
She could show her shell!
Every time!
That’s really cute!
Thank you
Yeah.... as if they are showing the true vid.
Thank you!
Adorable! It must have felt great.
I found a baby robin, Trilby, and raised it in my dining room and released it into the back yard. Put a net around two hula hoops and looped them over the center hanging lamp. Then a plastic hanger for when he was old enough to get to it from the top of the upside down plant pot. Called around and developed my deep hatred of rescue organizations. They told me it was illegal to take in a baby bird and illegal to make any recipes public. We’re talking 30-40 years ago.
So I thought about what mother birds feed babies, and worms were not going to be it. Closest visually was hamburger. And they don’t drink at that age. They take their moisture from the food. So I mixed the hamburger with fresh raspberries and fed him from a toothpick. Worked fine, but had to get up frequently to care for him at night.
Got him flying in the dining room and cleaned up memories of him for years afterwards. Eventually let him out the back and kept calling Trilby and, for the first few days, he’d return for food to the inside back porch. Then he didn’t come back. My neighbor cracked up at hearing repeated calls of Trilby at 6am. She loved dining out on stories about me.
I had a sad event in my backyard a few days ago. One of my favorite visitors to my birdfeeders was a little male Downy woodpecker. Among all the trash sparrows and starlings, he stood out as one of the native birds I really wanted to see. A couple of days ago, my cleaning lady was filling the bird feeder when I heard her shriek. She sent me a picture via her phone to identify the reason for her shrieks (she is NOT “one with nature”...). And it was my little Downy woodpecker, dead on the ground. She said he had tried to fly into my window, but that was not his normal behavior. I figured he was being pursued and in his panic, headed for the house. My cleaning lady then told me she saw a “very large bird” in the yard. Yep, I’m sure he was a hawk casualty when we found lots of feathers behind the shed. He may have gotten away, but sucumbed to his injuries. Poor little guy. I hope his mate finds another male for next year.
In my state it is against tbe law to nurse a bird to health. Only special trained wildlife rehabilitator people can do it. We discovered this many years ago. Foolish and another terrible law. Like not being able to pick up a blue Jay feather.
There a lot of stupid and pointless laws on the books, many are way beyond their useful life if they meant anything in the first place.
You may actually already have one.
An old I Phone might do the job. I have an old I Phone fastened to a piece of plastic pipe. I turn on the video and then use it to look at inaccessible places i want to look at.
