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 year 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 - 1 year 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!

It will not be able to connect to Wi-Fi @5 GHz (and such networks will not appear on the list of available networks during the pairing process). But no worries, all Wi-Fi routers actually offer the option to connect to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies, and our support is there to help you with the setup.

Unbelievable pleasure from watching my birds every day through this camera and feeder. It’s easy to maintain and a complete delight. One of the most thoughtful Christmas presents I could’ve ever been given! Absolutely love it!!

Works really well. Wasn’t much of a bird watcher until my daughter gave this to me as a Christmas present. And when it doesn’t work well, the company stands behind their warranty.

The Gift That Turned My Grandmas Into Bird Paparazzi

I bought a Bird Buddy Pro Solar Smart Bird Feeder for each of my grandmas, along with the hummingbird version, and they've been an absolute hit. Honestly, I was already preparing myself for the possibility that I'd end up returning them. I'm fairly tech-savvy, but neither of my grandmas would describe themselves that way, and I worried the setup or app might be too complicated. I'm happy to say I was completely wrong. The setup was straightforward, the app was easy for them to navigate, and they were both checking bird photos within no time. Now I receive regular updates about cardinals, finches, and hummingbirds as if we're tracking celebrities on a red carpet. The photo quality is incredible, with sharp, colorful images that capture every detail. The solar charging keeps everything running with minimal effort, and both feeders have brought so much enjoyment to their daily routine. It's rare to find a smart device that's advanced enough to be impressive but simple enough for everyone to enjoy. This one nailed it. If you're looking for a gift for parents or grandparents, I can't recommend it enough. Instead of returning them, I'm considering buying more. The birds may be the visitors, but these feeders were definitely the stars. 🐦📸

One of my most favorite gifts ever!!!

Amazing how something seemingly as simple as a bird feeder could bring so much joy! When the camera captures visitors…squirrels and all types of birds, well it is such a treat. I probably spend an inordinate amount of time cleaning and filling my feeders, making sure there’s fresh water, etc but I know that it gives them a place to feel safe and fill their tummy and it brings great joy to me when I watch them as they visit.

Love bird buffy

I bought my birdfeeder back when you guys were still testing and piloting the Birdbuddy. I have had to have my camera replaced one time other than that you do not understand the amount of joy that I get when I get a little notification that I have a bird out there. I have connected with my birds and ways. I never thought I would. I have invited new birds and learned so much about birds in general. This thing is amazing. I don’t even have to be home and can still see birds at my house.

It’s the very best thing I’ve introduced to my garden. Not only is it bringing the gorgeous coloured wild birds into my garden? But I get to enjoy them in their natural habitat

You have to buy this.

This is the best lawn and garden purchase we have made. It is so fun and addicting to watch the birds, recognize repeat visitors, name then, etc. Its easy to install, high quality, and the solar keeps it charged. The only thing you have to do is fill it with food and it will remind you when to clean the lens.
