Q: How squirrel proof would you say this is? How chewable is the plastic for instance? Is the see through material glass or plastic? Thanks.

submitted by vicmultnomah - 1 month ago
  • A: Great questions! While Birdbuddy isn't completely squirrel-proof, there are definitely ways to help keep them at bay. We recommend using a squirrel baffle and placing the feeder away from trees or other structures squirrels can jump from. You can also try seed blends that squirrels tend to avoid! 🐿️ As for the materials, Birdbuddy is made from durable ASA plastic, which is known for its high outdoor weatherability and retains its color, gloss, and mechanical properties over time. The see-through material is also ASA plastic, so it's tough and weather-resistant, perfect for outdoor use!

  • A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Bird Buddy Smart Bird Feeder with Camera and Solar Roof: Weather-Resistant, Hanging or Pole Mount. That's a great question, as squirrels are the ultimate challenge for any bird feeder! Here is a detailed breakdown of the Bird Buddy's resistance to squirrels based on the materials and features: Squirrel-Proofing Level: Moderate (Requires Proper Mounting) The Bird Buddy itself is not considered 100% squirrel-proof on its own, but it is built to be durable and includes a camera to alert you to their presence. Its defense against squirrels relies heavily on how you mount it. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: Is there any audio? Can you identify the varios bird songs?

submitted by CW - 6 months ago
  • A: Great question! Bird Buddy records sound with postcards, so you can both see and hear your backyard visitors, though the live stream plays without audio. Identifying bird songs isn’t a feature yet, but that’s a great idea and we’ll be sure to pass it along to the team!

    Fun for bird lovers

    My husband bought this for me as a gift. I love it. The camera is clear and detailed. The solar panel does a good job of recharging the feeder daily. I also enjoy on the app to be able to view birds on other feeders, even in other countries.

    Well made and excellent features

    I cannot say enough great things about this feeder from the carefully crafted design to the ecological package it came in. I received my bird buddy as a birthday gift from my son and it has brought me so much joy getting postcards sent to my inbox on my daily visitors!!! I love that it not only tells you the type of bird at the feeder but also a little bit about the bird which is great for me because I only knew 3 kinds of birds before receiving this as a gift. The camera provides a high quality resolution photo and I LOVE THE SOLAR PANEL because it is constantly charging the camera battery so no need to manually charge the camera!!! The app is adorable and well designed and intuitive. Any person over 50 can easily maneuver the app and set up the feeder. I am constantly endorsing bird buddy. It’s a fabulous gift of nature to give to yourself or others especially in an age where no one is going outside and “touching grass”. I’m waiting to buy the bird bath once it’s back in stock!!!

    Identifying feathered friends

    This was a gift 2 yes ago, also received a different bird feeder with camera and Birdbuddy is way better with identifying birds and keeping power to the battery. Even tho a bit pricier, it's well worth it in the end!

    WiFi & Dryness

    Takes great photos when it keeps in contact with my WiFi. Tends drop off WiFi quite a bit. I live in Seattle and we get a lot of rain as you know. It would be nice to have a rain canopy option for the feeder to keep things maybe a little drier.

    Very entertaining

    I love this thing! I enjoy getting an up-close look at the birds and squirrels that come to visit. I have to refill it often! As the seasons change it’s fun to see the different species some and go. Easy to set up and use as well.

    My husband bought the bird buddy for me for my birthday last year Dec 2024. I have enjoyed it so much I look forward to every day seeing what birds come to visit. The information it gives me on each type of bird is so interesting to see and learn. I plan to get the one for hummingbirds next.

    The bird Buddy has brought me so much joy just watching the birds that visit my feeder. I usually check it several times a day. To see them up close and get pictures and videos allows me to share with others. I highly recommend it.

    Survived a bear

    I live in Maine and have had my Birdbuddy for one year. It is amazing. I love seeing the birds live . The birds are fed year round. On occasion in the spring or fall we get a bear in our yard. This fall we had a bear come and tore down the birdbuddy 4 times! We'd forget to bring in feeders at night. Our birdbuddy went back together each time and works just fine. Very durable! I'd be lost without my birdbuddy.

    (no review title)

    This is the second year I've had my Birdbuddy and I still find it entertaining and rewarding. It works now as well as it did Zwhen it was new. I especially like the fact that it is solar powered so the only time it is unavailable to the birds is when I do the monthly cleaning.
