Tech that can genuinely help
- Light timers for steady sleep routines
- Kitchen or perch scales for weight tracking
- Phone reminders for cleaning, meds, or enrichment rotation
- Simple cameras for checking a bird when you are away briefly
- Organised notes and photos for health tracking
Questions to ask before adding a device
- Does it solve a real problem?
- Is it bird-safe in noise, fumes, heat, and placement?
- Would I still check the bird directly if it failed?
- Is it simpler than the problem it solves?
Good bird tech supports attention. It does not replace attention.
