Q: Does the bird feeder have a built-in camera?

A: This bird feeder does have a built-in camera.

Q: Is the bird feeder compatible with Android devices?

A: This bird feeder is compatible with Android devices.

Q: What kind of photos and videos can the bird feeder capture?

A: The Bird Buddy smart feeder takes close-up photos and videos of birds while they feed.

Q: How long does the battery last?

A: The Bird Buddy feeder sold by Best Buy includes the solar panel roof. I've exprienced on a sunny day, the battery charge never drops below 90 percent, even rising higher on a good day. This makes me think that, seriously, if you pick a sunny location it would be MONTHS before it needed a charge, and maybe not even then. If does need charging, the camera, which is held in the feeder by a strong magnet, just pops right out and is charged easily with a USB-C cord.

Q: Does the bird feeder require a subscription?

A: Yes. It does require a subscription for access to certain features.

Q: What are the dimensions of the universal mount? It looks like it fits on top of a post. Does it fit a 1.5” diameter post? A 2” diameter post? Does it attach to the post or just rest on it?

A: Hi Birdman! This mount is designed to fit any pole with an inner diameter of 0.97" or 2.5 cm. The universal pole mount can be easily installed onto the bottom of your Bird Buddy feeder using the four screws provided with your order.

Q: Will you ever come up with a better version that is supported by 5G? Its unthinkable in this day and age that it can't run on 5G since almost everyone has 5G whether they want it or not. Companies are pushing it. Our routers shouldn't have to change.

A: Thank you for your question. That’s really valuable feedback, and it’s something we’re actively taking into consideration as we work on future versions of Bird Buddy!

BIRDFY - Smart Wild Bird Feeder with Camera for Outdoor, Solar Power & AI Enabled Bird Recognition - Blue and White
4.8(52)

$199.99

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.
