Night Vision Birdhouse Camera

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

We found this incredibly nifty night vision bird house and nest box camera sold by Windy City Parrot. The Night Owl™ is an infrared night vision nest camera. You do have to run a cable to your television or computer, but once you do that, you can monitor all the activity in a bird house, bat house, squirrel house or nesting box.
