    My daughter is really interested in birds, so I thought it would be fun to create something bird-related for her. I came across a great API that provides bird facts and images, and decided to make a simple “Bird of the Day” module for MagicMirror². 🐦

    The module displays a random bird at a set interval using the Nuthatch API (https://nuthatch.lastelm.software/). The API is free, and you just need an API key to get started.

    Here’s an example of how it looks:

    You can customize the interval (weekly, daily, or hourly) and choose which bird facts to display, such as name, region, conservation status, or scientific name.

    If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, you can find the project on GitHub:

          And now cleaned the Github repo up a bit, also updated the module with some minor tweaks that I wanted to have (eg, position of text) and also added screenshots, the proper way.
