Cardinals ok?

We are used to lots of healthy regal cardinals visiting us. Lately they look sick? I feel worried. I googled and it said they could be juveniles and shedding? But it seems we have a lot that look this way. Can you guys help me w this?

No notifications after app-update with notification fix

Okay, after a rocky period following the well-known outage, everything has been running stable for a while. Live view, motion detection-notifications; it was all working fine again.

In the meantime, the (Android-)app is updated to version 1.20.10. According to the changelog, there was supposed to be a fix for notifications (which were already working fine for me).

But now, for the past few days - since that update - I haven't been getting any notifications again.

Anyone else?

(Android 17 latest version / Birdfy Nest, firmware 2278 / Birdfy-app 1.20.10).

These two again

Always a good day when both of them show up at my feeder together. This is the one legged cardinal if anyone remembers my last post. He put his butt feathers on her and she stopped eating entirely 😭 totally anthropomorphizing but she looked disgusted

Based on ya'lls insight, I got a copper disk. Birds love splashing on it!

We didn't have a ton of birds bathing, just drinking, but now they all land on the copper disk and splish splash.

Alternative Feeder Bodies

I’ve got the Birdfy Bamboo original that I got last year in August as a gift. It got hit pretty hard by some squirrels/possum recently and they chewed some of the plexiglass and the bamboo.

I reached out about replacement parts and was originally offered a replacement feeder for free. However, after I sent details they said my feeder was out of warranty. Weird, since I registered it a year ago. Anyhow, I wasn’t originally assuming they would replace for free, but apparently parts/replacement feeder bodies aren’t available. Camera is perfectly functional and was purchased with lifetime AI SUBSCRIPTION.

Is there an alternate 3rd party selling feeders I could get the camera to fit in? Any thoughts on options? Seems super wasteful to think about a brand new feeder when what I assume is the most expensive part is fine.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Just curious — who are your guys’ most frequent feeder visitors?

Our most frequent visitors are house finches (75% of visitors to be honest), daily mourning doves, and about 1-2 visits by cardinals a day. Every once in a while we get chipping sparrows, brown headed cowbirds, bluebirds, and just recently, a chickadee or two.

Can’t play clips

I’m unable to view any clips now.  The bird cam will capture something, I’ll go to the clip but it won’t play.  Instead there’s a little grey box at the bottom that says “ Play videos after loading”.  Nothing ever loads though.

What is this part, and how do I mount the solar panel?

I think I'm missing a mounting bracket or something, because I have no idea what this flexible silicone piece is for/how to use it to mount the solar panel?
