Owner of 2 Birdbuddy Pro Solar.
Have owned for 2 years and recently added a second. Would have been 5 stars but filling the seed bin should be easier. However I like seeing my bird visitor's photos and videos daily.

So entertaining!
Our children gave this to us as a gift for Christmas and we absolutely love it! It’ so much fun to see all the different birds that go into the feeder.

Excellent design
Excellent design. The solar panel keeps it charged for the most part, if the skies are sunny. I have had to manually charge it. Maybe a couple of times in the last 2 years, but of course I live in Texas. The feeder tray is a nice size when you add the aftermarket extension perch. The vertical storage is adequate for several days. My problem is keeping the raccoons from knocking it over. The camera is very sharp and reliable. The raccoons tore the little trap door off the back, but it seems to be no worse for the wear.

So easy to use
I got this Birdbuddy as a gift and I LOVE it. I love seeing the birds up close and seeing what type of birds visit every day. The only problem I have is how many birds come daily and how much food they eat!!

We don't know how we ever lived without it!
I'm a photograher by hobby and would take photos of birds coming to our feeder. However, it was difficult to photograph them through a window or close on the patio. Wild Birds are cautious of people and rightly so. Bird buddy captures the birds like we have never seen before. My sister described one video capture like you would see in a nature show- an adult male Northern Cardinal feeding and weaning 2 babies.

Love my animals
I received this last year for a Mothers Day gift and have great pleasure with this. I’ve had all types of birds, squirrels and chipmunks eating off it. The postcards and videos are awesome to see and watch

Disapointing
Stopped working after 4 months. Can’t replace battery. Difficult to refill with bird seed. Disappointing

Love the bird buddy! I have two prior to this purchase already, received 3 stars due to the face it’s advertised to come with perch extender, even stated on the box I received that there was a perch extender included, upon opening and set up there was no perch extender included 😕

EH - It's Okay.
Pros: Feeds the birds and you can watch. Cons: The camera RARELY captures the birds for a postcard, in spite of the fact that we have consistent bird traffic (and can watch it live). Also runs out of battery VERY quickly.

I love being able to watch our feathered close-up.
I love our Birdbuddy. My issue with it is, even when I use a funnel, it's very messy to fill. The House Sparrows seems to really love it. Would like to know how to deter the House Sparrows and not make such a mess when trying to fill the feeder.

DO NOT BUY
I purchased this tonight from target. I’m going on our number three. I’m trying to get this thing hooked up. I should mention I do technology for a living not only does the camera not work or tell you when it’s charging you can’t get it hooked up to your phone piece of garbage I’m returning it tomorrow.

Please reach out to us at support@birdbuddy.com - we’d be happy to help troubleshoot or arrange a replacement quickly. We hope to make this right and get your Birdbuddy up and running smoothly 🐦

Smiling for the camera
My wife bought this for me for Christmas. I had been looking at them bought thought they were a bit pricey. Apparently she didn’t think so. I am still thrilled to have received a Bird Buddy. I like seeing little videos of the birds we have named as they enjoy their Bird Buddy. Sometimes they look directly into the camera like they know it’s there. Smiling for the camera
