About The Perch Report

This site exists because smart bird feeder shopping is a mess. Product pages bury subscription costs, spec sheets skip the wifi requirements that actually break setups, and half the "reviews" online could have been written about any camera in any box. Meanwhile the owners' groups answer the same compatibility questions forty times a week because nobody keeps the answers anywhere.

We keep the answers somewhere. Specifically, here.

How we work

• Everything traces to a source. Specs come from manufacturer documentation and manuals. Subscription prices come from official pricing pages and app-store listings, with the date we verified them. Where owners consistently report something the spec sheet doesn't admit, we say so and attribute it to owner reports.
• We name the drawbacks. Every product on this site has at least one real one. A recommendation with no caveats is an ad.
• Data pages get maintained. Our subscription-cost database and compatibility tables are updated on a schedule, not abandoned after publish day.

How we make money

Some articles contain affiliate links, and purchases through them may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. Commissions never decide what we recommend — the fastest way to kill a site like this is to burn readers' trust for a few dollars, and we like this site.

Corrections

If we've got a spec, price, or claim wrong, we want to know and we'll fix it promptly. A corrections contact will be posted here shortly.
