Birdbuddy’s AI-powered hummingbird feeder is matching its best price to date

Although the feeder is designed for hummingbirds, when paired with its companion app, it can identify a wide range of species using AI and alert you of their arrival. Using a 2K motion-activated camera, it can capture 5-megapixel still images, slow-motion clips and HDR videos, which it can then save automatically. The camera can capture the finest details of a bird, while its wider field of view allows multiple birds to be captured in a single image. Plus, it’s designed to handle low-light conditions well, so you can always have a view whether it’s dawn or dusk.

The app also includes some fun extras. You can share clips with up to 10 people, and if you like a specific bird that keeps coming back, you can even give it a name and have the app track it every time it returns. The feeder can also help protect your feathered friends and send you notifications when it detects that a bird is sick or when a cat or dog is nearby. Just keep in mind that some of these features, including the ability to name birds and track returning visitors, require a Birdbuddy Premium membership, which starts at $69.99 per year.

Since it’s essentially a feeder, the Birdbuddy Smart Hummingbird Feeder can hold about 1.75 cups of nectar. It also features an IP67 waterproof rating and is designed to withstand a temperature range from sub-zero to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The solar roof also helps keep the camera’s battery charged even on cloudy days outside, although you can still charge it via USB-C if necessary. And if weather conditions get too extreme, the roof and camera are just as easy to detach and bring inside as they are to install.
