Birdbuddy introduced the Nook, a $99 smart bird feeder with a 2K camera that identifies bird species via its app, with no subscription required. A solar-powered version costs $159, and the company also released a larger Birdbuddy Home model for $219 with a 6-cup capacity.

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.
