Birdbuddy’s AI-powered hummingbird feeder matches its best price yet

Although the feeder is designed for hummingbirds, when paired with its companion app, it can identify a wide range of species using artificial intelligence and alert you when they arrive. Using the motion-activated 2K camera, it can capture 5-megapixel still photos, slow-motion clips, and HDR video, which it can then automatically save. The camera can capture the finest details of the bird, while the wider field of view helps capture multiple birds in one frame. Plus, it’s designed to handle low-light conditions well, so you can still get a view whether it’s dawn or dusk.

The app also includes some fun extras. You can share clips with up to 10 people, and if you like a particular bird that keeps coming back, you can even give it a name and have the app track it every time it comes back. The feeder can also help you protect your feathered friends and send you notifications when it detects a bird is sick or when cats or dogs are nearby. Just keep in mind that some of these features, including the ability to name birds and track returning visitors, require Birdbuddy Premium SubscriptionWhich starts at $69.99 per year.

Since it is a feeder at heart, the Birdbuddy Smart Hummingbird Feeder can hold about 1.75 cups of nectar. It also carries an IP67 waterproof rating, and is designed to withstand a range of temperatures – from below freezing to up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The solar roof also helps keep the camera’s battery charged even when it’s cloudy outside, although you can always recharge it via USB-C if necessary. And if the weather gets too harsh, it’s easy to detach both the roof and the camera and bring them indoors like in the setup.
