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 - 5 months 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 - 10 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!

    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

    Fun to feed and watch birds

    Allows you to feed birds and watch them up close as they eat. Solar charging is a good feature. Bird identification ( via AI) is great! Our feeder was popular instantly with the neighborhood birds.

    Mostly great but needs bigger hopper

    Love to watch the variety of birds through the camera of my Bird Buddy! The perch extension allows the birds to stand further away from the camera to get a better view. The solar panel keeps it well charged. Clarity is excellent! The quantity of seed it can hold is very small. That is the biggest disappointment. I actually found an aftermarket hopper on Etsy that doubled the capacity, but my birds still empty it quickly!

    Dependable solar power

    I got mine about a year ago. It is very dependable. I share the camera results with my children and grandchildren I didn’t realize I had that many Varieties of birds around. I also host a squirrel who has managed to learn how to get to it. Like the birds, He is also very well fed - Besides being photogenic.

    Great Camera Bird Feeder for your back yard.

    We've had the Birdbuddy for over a year now and far and wide, we are very happy with it. We have five species visiting daily and five more with just anfew visits - but those are are the most interesting ones. We haven had a raccoon plunder our station (almost destroying it) but we needed to install a second wildlife camera to catch it red-hannded as the BirdBuddy sleeps at night, when it came. The only "complaint" I have is that the camera is in portrait mode. Although I admit that this way it gets even the largest visitors we had (a crow), but oftentimes our birds are feeding from the side, which is not caught on camera correctly. That being said we're still very happy about the BirdBuddy and our feathered friends are, too, I'm convinced.
