Birdbuddy has introduced three new birdfeeder cameras that replace its existing Birdbuddy Pro model, with prices starting around $100. All three new devices are priced lower than the Pro version they succeed.
Retailers are offering early Black Friday discounts on smart bird feeders, including a 29% price cut on the Birdfy Original (blue, with solar) to $127 from $180. A non-solar version is available for $110, while the yellow variant costs about $13 more than the blue one on sale.
Coolfly's Aura Smart Bird Feeder is on sale for $149.90, a $140 discount, while Birdfy's camera-equipped feeder is priced at $109.99, $90 off. Birdfy also offers add-on solar panels and bundles with lifetime AI bird identification for $149.99 from Amazon or Birdfy directly.
Birdbuddy has released two new smart bird feeders, the $99 Nook and the $219 Home, both built around a redesigned camera. The new camera offers a 135-degree rotating wide-angle view and loads live feeds in under eight seconds, much faster than the existing $339 Birdbuddy Pro, though it has slightly worse image quality, narrower viewing angles, and requires removing the entire feeder to charge.
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.
A Verge deputy editor documented weeks using the Kiwibit Bird Feeder 2 Pro, a camera-equipped feeder that uses AI to identify visiting birds and send phone alerts with species names. Small birds like Great Tits and Eurasian Blue Tits initially flocked to the feeder, but the novelty soured when pigeons began dominating the feeder for long stretches, triggering the device's Nuisance Animal Alarm without effect, and mice arrived to scavenge spilled seed below.
