So glad I purchased this! It has been fun watching the different birds slowly come to explore our new bird feeder. The videos are great. The structure has held up just fine and we have not had to charge it at all with the solar roof. Definitely recommend if you are mildly curious about it.
Love it,

I got this for my parents. It is a great idea and great product. BUT it isn’t compatible with my parent’s iPhone 13. I would have never gotten it for them if I had known that. They have no way of using this until they get newer phones. Expensive plain bird feeder I got them.

In general, I love this feeder. I do wish the front plastic part was a bit firmer in the casing as it sometimes pops out.

I love seeing my "birb" friends up close and personal dipping into the seeds! I knew I'd have a squirrel problem but I have to admit that some of their photos are hilarious. (I reserve the right to be annoyed with them though.) I really enjoy taking a few moments throughout the day to see who has visited and stared into the camera lens!
Make sure to read the fine print!!!

Great feeder that produces a lot of enjoyment and great pictures. The only two issues are the seed hopper is way to small and the battery life is not as good as my hummingbird bird buddy. Knowing what I know now I should have gone with the solar option.
Pure Entertainment!

We love our Bird Buddy. It gives us hours of entertainment as we watch and learn about the birds visiting our yard. Great product and the birds like it too! Occasionally we call it the squirrel cam as well.

Unfortunately it broke almost immediately due to squirrels. We fixed and moved it but another squirrel broke it the same day.

Mounting Options So Limited

David - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
For a product this expensive it should be easier to mount. It should include a mounting pole, or at the very least a guide on how to find one that fits in their provided slot. I’m actually really annoyed. $200 for the feeder $40 for a year of the app $30 if you want the perch extender $40 if you want the feeding accessories $40 for their basic wall mount thing (should be included). I’ll probably return it. Amazon has so many cheaper competitors with easier mounting options. Sorry bird buddy, improve your product.

Fantastic bird feeder! Easy to set up and connect to phone. Love that it identifies the type of bird and provides notifications when you have new visitors.
So Much Fun!

This bird feeder is so much fun! You can add/invite others you know so they can also see the birds that visit. There are lots of cool features in the app and the battery life seems pretty great so far (you can change settings in the app to save battery life as well). The images and videos have been super clear and detailed for me so far. I've added a perch extender to it and a suet ball holder.
Camera is fine, AI is wildly inaccurate

Ashley Office Dress Queen - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
Setup was pretty easy and the camera is decent quality, but please don't rely on the AI engine for accurate identification of bird species. Lots of our local house sparrows have been misidentified in some hilarious ways (Google photos of a Tufted Titmouse and a Brown-headed Cowbird for examples of how wildly off it is). We're casual bird-noticers and the mistakes are pretty glaring to us, and what's worse is that there's no way to correct inaccurately-labeled birds. Consider yourself warned about the "smartness" of it and plan to feed photos into the Merlin app! The camera quality is fine.

target advertised extended charging with solar, and no battery - but shipped a non-solar, manually charged removable lithium battery, and basically said 'not our problem, oops! have your 90 year old dad disassemble and repack for return his birthday gift,

I am not necessarily a bird person, but a friend was raving about their Bird Buddy so I decided to get one. They are very cool - I love that the app identifies the bird and it's always fun to get a notification that a bird has stopped by. The app is pretty user friendly, though if you get this for your parents you might want to help them set it up. 🙂 The instructions are very clear, but I know tech can be intimidating for some people. I didn't realize how many kinds of birds there are in my neighborhood. I highly recommend for a gift for anyone who has a backyard.
Awesome gift and looking forward to other birdbuddy products!

Awesome concept and technology! Set up takes a couple of minutes, the bird feeder comes with a pole mount so it’s easy to place it anywhere outside if you have a pole. I had it outside during 70s and 20s, and have not had any durability issues. The camera always works. Using the app is very easy, anytime there’s a bird you get a notification and you can watch it live. This is an awesome gift for anyone and would highlight recommend it!
