A project log for Vending Machine for Birds

Simple, inexpensive bird feeder that dispenses peanuts in exchange for dropping stuff in a hole. A vending machine for clever birds.

I've been uploading deposit videos to YouTube since 16-OCT.  23 days running so far. I'm rarely at home and it's been unattended during that time except for a peanut top-up and providing some caps and butts on 27-OCT, and providing more caps and butts on 07-NOV.

I'm still on Stage 4 - providing deposit material near the vending machine. Stage 5 is the goal - where a bird brings something I didn't provide.

In the last 23 days I've had 104 deposits from birds.

To make the channel easier to deal with I think I will start concatenating deposit videos into daily videos or maybe weekly.

The birds set a new record today, at least since 16-OCT - 11 deposits in one day: 

Sometimes the machine has a lot of lurkers waiting for a smarter bitd to make a peanut come out. Here's a jackdaw that had a plan for that.
