AI-powered bird feeder takes candid pics, identifies our feathered friends as they snack

Birda co-founders John and Natalie White shared details of their social birding network with Fox News Digital. An AI-powered bird feeder called Bird Buddy doesn't only feed the birds -- it takes candid photos and identifies the species of each bird as it lands for a snack. Bird Buddy CEO Franci Zidar, whose company is based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, told Fox News Digital that the product uses artificial intelligence technology to take clear and "interesting" snapshots of the birds that come to feed. WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)? The smart bird feeder then detects the type of bird species -- and sends a notification with the photo and bird info to its owner's mobile device.
