Bird Watch is a system designed to bring monitoring of threatened species to Aotearoa's backyards. Using an intuitive app and the Smart Perch bird feeder, the system allows anyone to be involved in a rewarding and insightful experience where they can discover and monitor different species of native bird, all while working collaboratively to help with native conservation efforts. Aotearoa's Department of Conservation uses an existing RFID banding system but struggles to collect vital information from the network of birds it has banded. This product allows everyday citizens, anywhere, to help.
