This bird feeder video is the ultimate Prime Day surprise

The BirdBuddy Pro with Solar Panel it’s a nice upgrade for your yard, but the full price of $299 is a bit steep. After all, BirdBuddy is basically a video doorbell and solar panels attached to a bird feeder, which you can assemble yourself in an hour for under $100. Features such as identifying birds by name and locked behind the registerso you’re looking at an investment that could be expensive for your yard.

On the other hand, the discounted Prime Day price of $168 per Amazon it’s so delicious – and maybe that’s why it’s been the most unexpected of all the ones we’ve sent.

The steep sales probably indicate that Birdbuddy has new bird feeders in the works. The company announced new bird feeding videos at CES in January. BirdBuddy 2, which will sell for $ 199, has a round camera with a wide range of features that can take postcards of places or photos, but unlike the Pro with solar panels. They were briefly available for pre-order, and went to some reviewers and scattered buyers, but were not listed on the BirdBuddy website. The BirdBuddy 2 Mini has a small housing, but no solar panels, and will sell for $129 when it launches this year.

Smart bird feeders are also crowded places. There are other options that you can consider, such as Coolfly Aura which we discussed recently around the same tree. You can find more budget options on Amazontoo, though you’ll have a hard time finding the same degree of polish offered by Birdbuddy.
