FAQ

What is fugleramme?

A picture frame that shows the birds detected by a BirdNET-Go microphone, drawn as hand-cut 1800s bird illustrations on e-ink or any screen. Fugleramme is a bird frame for a Raspberry Pi or a homelab. It polls a BirdNET-Go instance, which listens on a microphone and identifies birds by sound, then matches each detected species to an illustration and arranges them on a page. The page is redrawn only when the set of birds changes, so an e-ink panel refreshes rarely.
