E-ink bird frame: listens to birds locally, draws 1800s-style illustrations

Show HN: An e-ink frame that hears birds and draws them as 1800s illustrations

An open-source project that uses a Raspberry Pi and microphone to detect bird calls in real time, running fully local AI without internet. When a bird is heard, it displays a 1800s-style bird illustration on an e-ink screen. It uses BirdNET for audio recognition and Stable Diffusion for vintage engraving style. Code and models are open-source. The post doesn't specify how many bird species are supported or the detection latency.
