IF YOU'RE NOT A BIRDER NOW, YOU WILL BE!

One of the perks of working from home is being able to glance out the window from time to time to observe birds visiting a couple feeders and a bath. But now that I have added this BIRDBUDDY SMART BIRD FEEDER, maybe I’m a little too distracted from my job! In addition to glancing out the window, I open the accompanying app to see photos and videos along with bird identifications. Of course, I then must add them to my collection in the app and share some of them with my family and friends. I love my new “toy”, and I doubt the novelty will wear off any time soon. The feeder was packed carefully and arrived in perfect condition with all parts included. I took my time with assembly to make sure I didn’t damage anything by mistake. I visited the Birdbuddy web site to watch videos that made things even clearer than the enclosed instructions. I charged the battery with the USB-C cable, and now the battery stays charged because of the solar roof. Someday I might get a pole to mount the feeder on, but I’m glad a wire hanger was included as an option. The included seed scoop makes filling the feeder easy, especially if you use the door as a ramp to avoid spillage. Since I already had feeders, it took a few days before the birds got over their wariness and my Birdbuddy feeder received its first visitor—a Brown-headed Cowbird. Bird identification is a wonderful feature of the smart feeder. Although I have no trouble with many of the birds in my area, some are tricky—like sparrows. My Birdbuddy had no trouble letting me know that a Chipping Sparrow had paid me a visit for a photoshoot! Explore the app to learn how to use all the features. You might consider upgrading to BIRDBUDDY PREMIUM to take advantage of additional features such as the ability to share livestream with the guests on your account.

Modern birdfeeder

The Bird Buddy Solar birdfeeder offers a new dimension in bird watching. The motion activated camera inside captures a closeup picture of your little friends as they stop by for a treat. You get a perfect view as they check over the seed offerings, find the perfect seed, and either eat it or take it as they fly away. It’s truly fascinating. The set up directions were clear and only took a few minutes to set the feeder up. After charging for a couple hours it was ready to fill with seed and hang outside. The directions said it could take up to two weeks for the birds to find a new feeder, but I had a chickadee and a finch in less than an hour. You can actually watch a live feed on your phone, and the best pictures are automatically sent to your phone as “postcards” daily. I’m very pleased with it and will probably get the add on suet feeder to go with it.

Solor powered camera bird feeder

To start, the setup for this camera feeder is very user friendly. My husband typically has to help me with that sort of thing, but I was able to do the entire setup

To start, the setup for this camera feeder is very user friendly. My husband typically has to help me with that sort of thing, but I was able to do the entire setup process while he was at work. It can be taken apart easily for cleaning. The solar panel is only on one side of the roof, but it is reversible so it can be positioned to get maximum sunlight. The box includes a bracket for mounting on a pole and another for hanging. I found that the included screws weren't long enough to have the perch extender and the pole mounting bracket both attached, but I had screws that fit to be able to use it. If you want to mount it in another way, they sell other brackets, like for wall mounting, which I was slightly disappointed to not have included. The seed compartment seems a little small to me, but that may just be because I have a high volume of birds come around every day. The battery percentage seems to drop a few points every day, dispite the fact that it always says the solar is charging. I've only had it a couple weeks, but I'm expecting to have to bring the camera in to charge once every 3-4 weeks. The camera does automatically power down at night. There are no photos and no ability to live stream while the camera is "sleeping". I know this is to help with the battery life, but there are times I wish I could check it even after it starts getting dark out. The pictures are typically nice and clear, and it even records a short video for every triggered visit. There have been times that I have seen a bird at the feeder and the feeder didn't get any images, so the birds must have to stick around for more than a few seconds. Overall, I do really enjoy this product.

I knew I would like this, but literally look forward to feeding the birds every morning and seeing who will stop by each day. The photos/videos show you what bird each is so you can learn as you go, too! Got the fruit and water add ons - too cold for the fruit to work here yet but the minute I put water out birds came out of the woodwork. Soooo much cleaner than my birdbath too! The resolution of the pictures are also incredible - I am so so impressed by how detailed the feathers are in app and when you download each "postcard." No complaints!

I really liked the idea of a smart bird feeder and I thought the Bird Buddy looked great! So I bought it. It is ok. It is really cool to be able to see the birds that come to my feeder and it is not super heavy. You are also still able to use it without the subscription, you just won't get all the features that comes with it. However, I am not sure what the point of the solar panel is. Even in the full sun, this does not charge. So I still have to charge the camera every 1.5-2 weeks and it takes a bit of time to charge. Also, the majority of the time, this feeder incorrectly identifies the bird or even the entire species. Apparently a blue bird is now a squirrel lol. It is also not very big, so if you tend to get very crowded feeders, this one is not it. Overall, I would say it is ok, but definitely not for the price.

The Bird Buddy feeder is a great way to see the birds up close and I love that it also identifies the type of bird. The only challenge is filling up the feeder from the back. The seed doesn't go in without spilling. I've opted to refill the feeder from the front. It's a great feeder and I'm enjoying the bird videos and pictures.

This is the most amazing bird house ever! I bought this for my husband and he has been enjoying it especially since we have been snowed in for 5 days now. He loves the clear pictures he receives on his phone from the bird house. He gets excited when the bird is actually identified. He then looks the bird up in his bird book and reads all about it. We have acreage and knew many species of birds came To our many feeders. We just didn’t know how many species came.

Love this bird feeder!

This is an incredible bird feeder! It comes with a camera that takes pictures and/or short videos of the birds that use it, and sends them to an app on your phone

This is an incredible bird feeder! It comes with a camera that takes pictures and/or short videos of the birds that use it, and sends them to an app on your phone. Through the app, you can view the pictures/video along with the identification of the bird. The feeder was easy to assemble, and downloading and pairing the feeder to the app was also easy (even with my terrible, sketchy Internet connection). The feeder has a solar panel roof that helps keep the camera powered. I am not sure how well it works, but so far, so good. All in all, it is a lot of fun and extremely interesting.

So far, so good!

It's a sturdy little thing! The camera is weighty but not like a millstone, the feeder itself doesn’t feel like it'll snap in my hands, and the app is user friendly

It's a sturdy little thing! The camera is weighty but not like a millstone, the feeder itself doesn’t feel like it'll snap in my hands, and the app is user friendly. It even comes with a scoop for bird seed so you don't spill it everywhere. I don't have a hook setup for it just yet and the neighborhood birds haven't grown accustomed to my house as a feeding spot, though, so I can only comment on the build. The camera is pretty nice, and the app has an easy camera button, as well as an alert function to let you know when you have feathered visitors. I love it!

Easy set up, high quality images, best new hobby!

I feel like I have reached peak millennial adulthood with this bird feeder! It was so easy to set up in the app and even includes tips on getting your local birds

I feel like I have reached peak millennial adulthood with this bird feeder! It was so easy to set up in the app and even includes tips on getting your local birds used to it. We started getting birds almost immediately. I love that it identifies the birds as well as giving facts about them and tips on what they like to eat, when it’s more common to see them and more. The video and photos are clear and great quality. It’s also easy to download and save images to share on other platforms. I’m obsessed!
