The Bird Buddy 2.0 is a smart bird feeder with a built-in HD camera, solar charging, and an app that identifies and logs visiting feathered visitors.
It’s thoughtfully designed, easy to assemble, and genuinely enjoyable to use, assuming you have birds to feed. The companion app is polished and unobtrusive, offering a gentle introduction to birdwatching for the curious or casually conservation-minded.
Performance is excellent when it works, but results depend heavily on your environment. In urban flats with limited greenery or bird traffic, patience is essential — it could be weeks or months before any wildlife shows up.
If you’re lucky enough to have an active garden or balcony with regular visitors, this is a charming way to observe them up close. For everyone else, it’s a beautifully made object of quiet hope.
