    Love my Birdbuddy!

    There was a problem with my camera and the Birdbuddy support team was very responsive. They diagnosed my problem quickly and had a new camera sent to me right away. I am loving watching the hummingbirds coming to my Birdbuddy. Being able to see my feeder visitors up close has been spectacular.

    Honest Review

    I was gifted a BirdBuddy and I absolutely love it. The video quality is amazing and I love the identification feature. I gave it 4 stars because I wish the feeding tray was removable for easier cleaning. Also, it would be nice to be able to pair with my Alexa without needing to pay for a subscription. I would love to add a hummingbird BirdBuddy, but honestly, I feel the brand is very pricey. I think they are perfect for children to enjoy, but it would need to be more affordable for families. Mine was a gift and I felt bad when I saw how much my niece paid for it. The solar panel keeps the camera functional all day; no batteries or charging needed which is an absolute must.

    Best Mother’s Day present ever

    This bird feeder given me lots of joy. I love that I have this new job of taking care of their feeder. I did find I had to add a few accessories to make it work better for my visitors. I got a ledge extender, I bought a baffle to keep the squirrels away, and the seed catcher to keep the messy birds from spread, spreading the seed all over my lawn! Thinking of saving up for the hummingbird version.

    I love the feeder

    I love the feeder. It doesn’t always notify when I have a bird and the same bird came more than once yesterday and it identified it as 2 different birds. I also get a few that can not be recognized… even so some of them have already visited.
