Bring the sound of bird song into your home with this latest bit of technology we are carrying here at the store – Haikubox!

Haikubox is an AI-enabled device that can identify bird species around your home from the songs they sing. Just plug it into an outdoor outlet, connect it to the Haikubox Connect app on your phone and link it to your home’s WiFi.

Haikubox can also record bird songs in your yard 24/7, which is great during spring and fall migration when most songbirds travel at night! Haikubox can be programed to alert you when birds are heard in your yard or when certain birds are heard, so you don’t miss hearing or seeing them!

Haikubox links to Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s All About Birds, which will provide you with photos of the birds recorded in your yard, as well as pertinent information about them. If you choose, Haikubox can also report the birds recorded in your yard to eBird – an online database of bird observations that provides researchers with real-time data about bird distribution and abundance. Yep, you and your yard can provide useful data to one of the world’s largest citizen-science projects, eBird!

If you are thinking this all sounds pretty incredible, you aren’t the only one! According to Wired Magazine, “Haikubox is one of the rare pieces of technology that actually increases your connection to the world around you, rather than cutting you off.”

Come on in and check out Haikubox for yourself or for that special bird lover in your life!
