Q: Can you allow multiple phones to log in to view birds without having to pay for the premium subscription? I want my family member to have capability to view as well as myself.

A: Hi Larson, thank you for your question. 💚 You don’t need a Premium Membership for that. You can share your Birdbuddy with family members by inviting them as guests through the app under Settings → Members. This lets them view bird visits, postcards and livestreams without extra cost. Premium just adds optional upgrades like HD videos, bird naming and more. 🐦

Q: Does this version use a macro sd card? Mine is several years old and has the card, which i would like to replace. Can you tell me what card to purchase.

A: Hi Trigger, thank you for your question 💚 The newer Birdbuddy models don’t use a microSD card — all photos and videos are stored directly in the app. If you have an older version that uses one, we recommend checking your device’s slot size and replacing it with a Class 10 microSD card (8–32GB works best). If you’re unsure, please reach out to our support team for guidance 🐦

BIRDFY - Smart Wild Bird Feeder with Camera for Outdoor, Solar Power & AI Enabled Bird Recognition - Blue and White
4.7(66)

The Birdfy AI Smart Bird HD Camera is fun, educational, easy to install, and makes a great gift for anyone with an interest in birds and the outdoors. With its weatherproof, AI enabled, solar powered, high-definition (1080p) wireless camera - the outdoor bird feeder lets you feed and then simultaneously view, record, and identify wild birds with your smart phone, tablet, or computer. Using motion-detection, it senses when there is a bird eating and records audio and video and sends you a real-time activity notification via the free Birdfy app. The AI system recognizes and differentiates between 6,000+ bird species and is included at no extra charge for the life of this product. The solar panel of the smart bird feeder with camera is purposely separate from the main unit to allow for optimized placement and improved performance, because where you may want to put the bird feeder is not always the best place to capture the most sun, so added installation flexibility is a plus.
