Bird feeders have come a long way since their inception in the early 1900s. These days, it’s not surprising to see feeders equipped with cameras and solar roofs, two prominent features you’ll find on feeders from both BirdBuddy and Netvue. While modern hoppers can command a pretty penny, Amazon’s Big Spring Sale He was dropped Netvue Birdfy Feeder To $135.99 ($124 off) and Birdbody Pro to $179.99 ($120 off), which is one of the best prices we’ve seen.
At their core, both smart bird feeders are designed to help you keep an eye on your soon-to-be feathered friends, allowing for still photos, video, notifications, and AI-powered identification. However, Birdfy’s offering shortens hardware to cut costs. It features the widest viewing angle of any model at 155 degrees; However, video quality maxes out at 1080p, while the Birdbuddy Pro lets you capture 2K video (with slow motion). The supplied solar panel isn’t integrated directly into the roof mount as with the Pro either, which means it doesn’t look as great once it’s set up.
On the software side, both motion-activated feeders support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and feature powerful, easy-to-use apps that can identify species and alert you when a bird is present. Birdbuddy is a bit more lively and capable if you want to sign up for it Bird Buddy Premium ($69.99 per year), which unlocks additional information via AI-powered chat, unlimited video storage, the ability to track returning visitors, as well as the option to view Birdbuddy feeds from around the world. However, Birdfy’s bird identification software is free for life – at least with the package offered here – which means you won’t have to routinely pay for a subscription just to get access to the basics. Just be prepared for a lot of notifications.
