I agree I would expect a reference. Another difference between this an AvianVisitors is the image sources. AvianVisitors is all AI generated with a consistent prompt, but OP's is using chiefly public domain images with retouching by AI as needed.
Thanks! That one was discussed a few months ago:

I've put a link to the earlier project in the toptext above.
Fwiw an eink display is fairly common tech in the birdiverse. I also have a project that is the same thing.
The new one appears to use real art from real humans, instead of AI art that was fixed.
And just because 2 things do the same job doesn't make one a "copy" of the other.
