Support Eye On The Fly
This project is 100% community-supported. No corporate sponsors. No ads. No paywalls. Every dollar goes directly to keeping the feeders full and the cameras running.
Where Your Money Actually Goes
We believe in total honesty about how your support is spent. Here's the real breakdown:
Bird Seed & Feed
60%The biggest expense by far. We go through bags of Enchanted Garden wild bird feed mix, black oil sunflower seeds, nyjer, safflower, suet cakes, and peanuts every single week. The birds eat a LOT.
Feeders & Cameras
30%Feeders need replacing, cameras need maintenance, and sometimes squirrels destroy things. This covers our Birdfy camera feeder, Squirrel Buster feeders, platform trays, suet cages, and all the tech.
Website & Content
10%The smallest slice. Hosting, domain costs, and the occasional late-night coding session fueled by coffee. The website is a labor of love more than anything.
TL;DR:Most of your money buys bird food. Some fixes broken feeders. A little keeps the website running. That's it. No salaries. No marketing budgets. Just birds.
