Hi there! I understand that the images from your Bird feeder app are appearing upside down on your Mac running OS X 10.15.7. Let’s work through this together.

First, can you tell me if the images come from a live camera feed on the bird feeder, or are these photos saved or downloaded images? Also, do you have access to any camera or device settings within the app?

Meanwhile, the usual fix involves checking an option often labeled something like “Flip Image” or “Image Rotation” inside the app’s settings. On many bird feeder camera apps, you can:

1. Open the Bird feeder app on your Mac.
2. Navigate to the camera or device settings section (sometimes under “More Settings”).
3. Look for an option that says “Flip Image,” “Rotate Image,” or similar.
4. Toggle or check the “Flip Image” option to correct the upside-down display.

If your app doesn’t display a “More Settings” option or anything like “Flip Image,” let me know, and we can try alternative steps.

In some cases, the camera’s physical installation angle can cause the image to appear upside down. If accessible, adjusting the camera physically to a different angle might help, but we’ll first focus on the software side since you’re on a Mac.

Please give this a try and tell me what you see in the settings or if you need guidance navigating the app menus. We’ll get this sorted out!

The only settings are “basic settings “ There is a flip screen and I checked that but it didn’t help. The bird feeder only has one way the camera fits

Thanks for the extra details! Since you mentioned that the “Flip Screen” option in the basic settings doesn’t fix the upside-down image, and the camera can only be installed one way physically, it looks like the app's flip settings may not be working as intended or there's another layer to this.

Here’s what I suggest next:

1. Restart the app and device: Quit the Bird Lover Feeder app completely on your Mac (Cmd + Q) and then reopen it. Sometimes settings don’t apply until a restart. You can also try restarting your Mac to refresh all processes.

2. Check for app updates: Ensure your Bird Lover Feeder app is updated to the latest version, as older versions might have bugs affecting flip screen functionality.

3. Reset camera connection: If your feeder has a reset option for the camera module (often a physical button or a menu option), try resetting the camera and then reconnect it in the app. This can sometimes resolve display glitches.

4. Reinstall the app: Delete and reinstall the Bird Lover Feeder app on your Mac. This can fix persistent bugs by refreshing app data and preferences.

5. Check the user manual or support PDF: There’s a Bird Lover App Manual PDF mentioning basic settings including “flip the screen” on page 17. It might have a detailed instruction or note about this issue—if you have access to it, it’s worth a look7.

6. Contact official support: If all else fails, the issue might be a software bug that needs a patch or deeper investigation. You can reach out to Bird Lover Feeder’s official support team for advanced help.

Try those steps and let me know if your image flips properly after a restart or reinstall. I’m here to help get you to a solution! Are you okay trying these?
