Just wanted to share my setup. I have a Tapo C121 mounted on a feeder I built:
The plans for the feeder are available if anyone wants them. I have the zip file somewhere. Its just 1/2in cut by a laser and glued together pretty much. I did staple some spare roof shingles I had leftover on the top.
Frigate has bird detection enabled, and the mic on the camera streams to Birdnet-Go for audio detection.
I threw together a small addon to aggregate species classifications from both Frigate and Birdnet (via mqtt), so I can see analytics within HA.
So far its only been up for ~12 hours, but I've already got a few visitors.
Full disclosure, the addon is like 90% vibe coded. I work in IT/Development in my day-to-day job and couldn't be arsed to spend my personal time in front of a computer to build it by hand. I see enough screen every day ๐
Its simple, was made quickly, and it works for me. If anyone else wants to use it/fork it/PR it, I'll link it below. I just hadn't seen any better ways to aggregate this data in one place, accessible via HA

The addon assumes you have birdnet-go and frigate with bird classification already set up. It will not classify for you. It also assumes both publish to the same MQTT server. If that MQTT server is the mosquitto addon in HA, you can just leave the server blank; it'll find it.
