| = 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.
