Q: Is it squirrel proof?

submitted by Jennyp - 17 days ago
  • A: Absolutely not!!! Squirrels will get to this

    submitted byMae - 17 days ago
  • A: While it’s not completely squirrel-proof, there are ways to help deter them! If you're worried about squirrels, we recommend using a squirrel baffle and placing the feeder away from trees or structures squirrels can jump from. You can also use seed blends squirrels wouldn't like! 🐦

  • A: Bird Buddy's connectivity is supported by the typical wireless standard 802.11 b/g/n with a 2.4 GHz frequency that uses the Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2 or WPA3) protocol. 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. You can reach them at support@mybirdbuddy.com

Needs Improvement; the Company Is Working on It

2 out of 5 stars
Snowy Egret - 6 days ago
originally posted on birdbuddy.com
The ideas behind Bird Buddy are sound, but the product as currently offered needs help. A majority of the IDs offered are incorrect, either because the species named is out of range (at times, even European species have been ID’d as present in Florida) or because the software is not refined enough to distinguish between/among similar species. To BB’s credit, the company is now asking for feedback when IDs are offered. I will continue to use the product for now, but if I had known how shaky the IDs are, I would have waited to purchase.

I’ve had my Bird Buddy for a little over a month now, and I have been absolutely loving it! Waking up, the first thing I do now is check the feeder and see what visitors have stopped by. It’s really fun to see the little glimpses into the birds lives through the camera, and I would highly recommend picking one up!

We love it. Each family member has named a bird and we share the photos with them. It has been fun to watch “Bob” get more and more yellow as spring progresses. Sometimes we have 14 different species in a day. With the longer daylight hours now I no longer need to bring the camera in to charge it. I am grateful for the reminders to clean the feeder, and it is easy to clean. Filling it is a little trickier, but if I hold the back flap door at an angle I can pour in seed without spilling seed.

Bought this for my father for Christmas. We found a spot above his back patio with full sun. My two biggest issues… 1) the solar panel alone will not charge the camera enough. We have to pull it down and charge it to keep it going. 2) in order for me, the non-primary account holder or viewer, to watch using the “live” feature, I have to buy a subscription. Rip off

I really enjoy the feeder and watching the birds. I do wish it came with more available accessories like a cage to keep out the larger birds like grackles. While they all need to eat they rather bully the other birds. Plus I've put larger seed holders on both of mine otherwise I'd be filling it multiple times a day.
