Wi-Fi Bird Feeder repairs

Cockatoos – Very smart and their beaks are like surgical instruments and… can switch modes between dexterous and turbo power.


Note: One leg is missing lol after 2 or 3 swooped down on the feeder and it toppled over.


The wi-fi servo actuator extension arm – totally destroyed


Made a new extension arm.

Checking operation.


The servo actuator is protected by a two-sided box.


And a top hinged cover.


The cover is retained by a strong spring tp prevent them getting to the actuator lol.


Even that short length of exposed 12V DC power cable needs protection!

I’ll be back to repair the stand base…
