Wi-Fi Chicken Feeder – Update
While reading the morning news (this morning) with a cuppa Ruby & Rosie passed through the carport on their way to the front yard so I opened the feeder for them.
They were there for a while so the camera video is edited, when Ruby leaves they really move in on Rosie! The solar panel is leaning against the brick pier (for overnight) and the white box on the right contains the solar controller and SLA battery. Next job is to get rid of the box and locate those items on the back of the feeder.
Bluey afternoon visit
Still visiting Meadowbrook Mansion, very punctual morning and afternoon.
Interesting that his colour has changed to a misty blue!
Bluey regular visiting routine
Bluey has settled into a regular visiting routine-
One morning and one afternoon visit. He does well to hold his own against all the competition but regardless of that ET has instructed me to stand on guard… while he eats and drinks (Crikey).

Bluey training session
Anticipating his afternoon visit I moved the stand feeder down onto the driveway close to the balcony feeders. As posted a few weeks ago I made a 2 bowl platform feeder that’s positioned below the balcony window.
Hanging from that is the traditional hanging feeder. The latter has not been used in the front yard since the Xmas tree was removed (no branches).
He’s here… I’ve been lying in wait for him, hiding but not to attack.
Bluey checking in…
I am planning to make him a shelter box which hopefully will become a nesting box.
Bluey is still with us!
ET is delighted that Bluey is still around-
He flies in morning and afternoon and after perching on the overhead NBN cable, directly above the bird feeder, announces his presence with loud chirping. It’s my job to go down and add seed to the empty tray – a bit of a PIA. I’m working on a Bluey auto feeder. more to come.
Window feeder for Bluey – Part 2
Prepping to mount the feeder below the balcony window.
The weatherboards are of course angled so we need a couple of top spacer blocks.
