AN IOT BASED SMART BIRD CAGE WITH A WATER FILTERING AND MONITORING SYSTEM FOR BIRDS

At present, people have grown fond of raising birds. Birds require different and specialized habitats to cater to their unique needs, and cages that allow space for ample movement help promote their well-being. The study aims to address the challenge in ensuring optimal bird care by developing an IoT Based Smart Bird cage integrated with a water filtering and monitoring system. This includes automated bird feeding, water quality maintenance, waste processing, and temperature and humidity regulation. The system utilizes the ESP32, sensors and remote monitoring using the Blynk Application to enhance bird well-being and support bird owners in maintaining a healthy environment for their birds. ISO 25010 standard is utilized to ensure system quality. The Overall Mean for the system received an overall mean rating of 4.26, interpreted as Excellent. The criteria ratings evaluation scores started with the Functional Suitability with an evaluation of 4.41, the Performance Efficiency with 4.19 evaluation, Usability with 4.36 and Reliability with 4.17, and Security with a 4.17 rating based on the Likert Scale. The feedback from 62 bird owners, 33 bird breeders and 5 IT professionals, indicate that the overall mean evaluated criteria received an Excellent Rating.
