PSA - beware of knockoff feeder cams

Update - an apology has been issued and the photos have been removed. Do your research before you drop money on a product like this so you can figure out what the proper deal is and what a scam.

I know posting photos on the internet makes everybody think they can take them but my work is my work and I decide what I want to do with it. Yet another company has decided to take my photos to advertise their product. Without asking me. I am sick of this so I am calling them out here now. The company is called Palprot and selling a bird feeder style camera (that also looks familiar to another product that is not on the market yet). I have not given permission to them to use my photos, and they even use one as a "sample photo". My watermark has been cut out but I know my photos and my backyard.

This is not a cheap product either. I would stay away from this.

The boldest part of all of this? They follow me on Insta and Twitter and even sent me a message asking what camera I use. Thieves suck. Don't be a thief.
