|
| = 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.

| = Learning Objectives =
| |
| * Learn about the important role of vegetation in supporting small birds
| |
| * Learn how to install BirdNET-Pi on a Raspberry Pi 4
| |
| * Learn how to interpret data from a local installation of BirdNET-Pi
| |
| * Learn how to use an API to retrieve data from the BirdNET-Pi installed in Bundoora
| |
|
| |
| = Noisy Minors and Red Wattlebirds =
| |
| * 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.
| |
| '''https://www.portplaces.com/noisy-miners-and-the-plight-of-small-birds/'''
| |
|
| |
| * There is also a documentary you can watch on ABC iView called '''The Secret Lives of our Urban Birds'''. Start at the 41 minute mark to see the section on Noisy Minors.

|
| |
| == Plants for Small Birds ==
| |
| * There are some parks in Melbourne that have high number of small birds and small numbers of Noisy Minors.
| |
| * '''Trin Warren Tam-boore''' in Royal Park is home to 153 bird species.
| |
| * Local waterbodies are surrounded by an impenetrable layer of '''Tangled lignum (''Muehlenbeckia florulenta'')''' which is a place of safety for small birds.
| |
| * '''Jawbone Reserve''' in Williamstown is also home to many small birds.
| |
| * The park is full of '''Sheoaks''' and '''Tangled Lignum'''.
| |
| * Other plants that are recommended are '''Silver Wattle (''Acacia dealbata'')''' and '''Black Wattle (''Acacia mearnsii'')'''
| |
|
| |
| = Hardware requirements =
| |
| * Raspberry Pi 4.
| |
| * USB Microphone - (e.g. Gyvazla USB Microphone Lavalier Clip-on Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone for Computer)
| |

| |
| * Heat sink and fan for Raspberry Pi. Optional, but highly recommended because it will keep the processor temperature less than 40degC and prolong the life of your Raspberry Pi.
| |
|
| |
