Livestream PSA

I have several Birdsy cameras in my yard that I am livestreaming in different spots. The main bath/ pond in the summer can be watched here on my website but also on BirdsyTV. The Tree cam and the green bath cam are livestreaming on that website as well, I am going to post links below. You can give my channels and cams and also videos a like there too. The website will eventually grow but there are already several cams public there. My own livecams change throughout the year, I may move them around, activate and deactivate per my needs. But here is how you find them:

1. Ostdrossel pond channel: https://birdsy.com/l/355115274eb4873b and ostdrossel.com/livestream

2. Ostdrossel3 channel (tree cam and shed cam and sometimes a third one): https://birdsy.com/c/Ostdrossel3

Activity will ramp up in the coming weeks with migration starting, so there may be lots of fun stuff to see. Check it out if you like

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.
