It'd be fun to put this beside a bird cage, and see if the bird could learn to control its environment. If so, I imagine quite a number of doting bird owners would be prepared to pay money to give their pet "the gift of independence".

That is a frankly brilliant idea which I never would have thought of.

Probably very doable with smart birds like (but not limited to so, don't hate me) parrots.

On the other hand, some of those bird species can be quite mischievous, be very careful before giving it control over your house.
