GoKawiilBirdbuddy renames and launches Nook and Home smart bird feeders
Birdbuddy has released two smart bird feeders first shown at CES 2026, now renamed the Birdbuddy Nook (formerly Birdbuddy 2 Mini) and Birdbuddy Home (formerly Birdbuddy 2). The Nook starts at $99 with a 2K HDR camera and 135-degree field of view, with solar and extended-perch versions priced at $159 and $199, while the $219 Home adds dual solar panels and a larger reservoir. Both are available now on Birdbuddy's site, with wider retail availability later this month.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The rebranding and tiered pricing suggest Birdbuddy is trying to widen its customer base beyond dedicated birdwatchers into more budget-conscious or space-limited buyers. Offering modular add-ons like solar panels and extended perches could let the company capture more revenue per customer while keeping an entry price low enough to compete with cheaper camera feeders.
- Birdbuddy 2 Mini and Birdbuddy 2 are now called Nook and Home respectively
- Nook starts at $99; Home starts at $219 with dual solar panels
- Solar and extended-perch upgrades let buyers customize battery life and seed capacity
