Four canvases a day
Art paints at times you choose — by default 9, 12, 3, and 6. Empty mornings skip a slot so you never burn a blank quota.
Art of Birding
Your porch birds, painted through the day.
A living frame for tablet or TV. Local song becomes scheduled artwork — calm, private, and yours.
How it works
From porch song to living art.
You bring the Pi and mic. We ship the card that ties it to your account. Your home does the listening; we do the painting.
01
Gather hardware
Raspberry Pi 4+ and a USB mic. We’ll point you to recommended kits when you’re ready.
02
Subscribe & receive
$39/mo includes a microSD we flash and ship — already linked to your Art of Birding account.
03
Listen at home
Insert the card, join home Wi‑Fi with a pairing code. Birds are identified on the Pi — audio stays there.
04
Watch it paint
Open your private display. Four times a day, today’s visitors become a new canvas.
What you get
A calm ritual for your walls.
Powered by BirdNET on your Pi and Gemini in the cloud — built for homes that want beauty without a feed.

Private by design
Audio never leaves your Pi. Only bird names and confidence scores reach the cloud — nothing else.

Your audio never leaves home.
Identification runs on the Raspberry Pi. The cloud only receives species names and confidence scores — never recordings, never waveforms, never anything else from the device. We do not sell or share personal information.
FAQ
Before you begin.
A Raspberry Pi 4 or newer and a USB microphone. You buy those; we ship a microSD card that connects the device to your Art of Birding account.
The subscription is $39 per month and includes your provisioned microSD. Raspberry Pi and mic are purchased separately.
No. BirdNET identifies birds locally on the Pi. We never receive audio, waveforms, or recordings — only species detections.
Gemini paints each canvas from the birds heard since the last slot, in art styles you enable in your account.
No. Your living frame sits on a private subdomain and requires a display key. You can still share stills when you choose.
Ready when your birds are.
Walk through what’s required, grab the hardware, and we’ll meet you with a microSD that already knows your account.
