Shiny New Gadget of the Month: Smart Bird Feeder Pro

The Bird Buddy elevates the concept of a bird feeder with its Smart Bird Feeder, which not only feeds birds but also records their visits with a camera. You can view the camera activity on your cell phone, receive alerts when visitors arrive, and identify the bird species using AI. Images are stunning! They offer individual and family memberships and various bird seed options. Our gift has been running for over a year. It took a while for the birds to find it, but now they gather every morning, waiting for us to refill it.

It requires a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection and allows up to ten people to connect. Without the solar roof, the camera lasts up to a month, but with it, charging is rarely needed. They offer a 90-day return policy, and the solar model costs about $200. There’s a non-solar version, and they have special promotions on their website. There are several add-ons to extend the perch, provide water, and more.

You can see live action at your Bird Buddy and others shared by the community, including one in Hawaii. The company, based in New York, is an official Audubon Partner, supporting bird protection. –CMW and Copilot
