What you can do here, the apps we lean on, and how the Haikubox fits in.
How to Use Bird Feed
Getting started is simple
Upload Photos
Snap a photo and upload it to your feed.
Catalog and Curate
Tag your photos by species. Curate your best stuff. Up to 8 photos can be added for each species.
Track Activity
If you have a Haikubox, you can connect it to automatically import bird activity data and track which bird visitors you've photographed.
Share Your Gallery
If you want, you can create a custom link to share your Bird Feed with others (they don't need to have a Bird Feed account). You can also opt-in to enable your feed to be publicly discoverable by other Bird Feed users. Or you can keep your gallery completely private or disable any previous sharing settings at any time.
