Simon Batt writes about Fugleramme, a Raspberry Pi 5 project by arnegiacomo that passively listens to bird calls via a USB microphone and displays hand-curated 1800s natural-history cutouts of the species it detects on an Inky e-ink display. The system runs fully offline on the Pi using BirdNET-Go for detection, deliberately avoiding generated images in favor of genuine historical illustrations.
- The mic is a lavalier with a thin cable taped under the roof and threaded in through the window
- Currently features European birds; US species are in progress
- A live demo of the creator's own device is available at their dev website
- Open-source on GitHub under the name Fugleramme
