= Overview =
* BirdNET-Pi uses a USB microphone connected to a Raspberry Pi to record and identify bird calls.
* The system runs 24/7 and can upload data in real time to '''https://app.birdweather.com'''
* Data can also be downloaded via an API so that you can do some additional data processing using Node-RED.


= Noisy Minors and Small Birds =
* Noisy Minors are native honey eaters.
* They have done very well in urban areas because of the abundance of eucalyptus trees and mown lawns.
* Noisy Minors are also territorial and work cooperatively to drive our smaller birds.
* In many parks small birds are locally extinct and only survive close to waterways.
== Small Birds ==
* Small birds need protection from thick scrubby vegetation so they can build nests and also hide from larger birds.
* Examples of small birds include:
** White-browed Scrubwrens
** Brown Thornbills
** Spotted Pardalotes
** Willy Wagtails
** Yellow Robins
** Golden Whistlers
** Eastern Spinebills
** Grey Fantails
* Government agencies, conservation groups and schools are working together to plant more shrubs and bushy vegetation to encourage small birds to come back to our local parks.
* You can read more in this article.
