Just in time for spring, Bird Buddy has unveiled its $239 Smart Hummingbird Feeder It uses the same built-in AI and camera module technology as the company's original and extremely popular Smart Bird Feeder, but is specifically designed to attract and identify over 360 hummingbird species View close-up images, live streaming, and a catalog of each bird to track the biodiversity of your backyard

Bird Buddy's camera module captures 5 megapixel still images and high-resolution video with a wide 120-degree field of view The camera faces a red lily-shaped feeding port designed to attract hummingbirds because it is the flower and color they naturally choose; the two-part feeding base is easy to fit and clean with a seal that prevents mold and water leaks

Our review of the Bird Buddy found that the camera took great photos and videos

Like the original Bird Buddy, the smart Hummingbird feeder can be ordered with or without a solar roof, but if you don't want to interrupt your setup every time you need to charge the camera, it may be worth spending the extra money for that There is no such thing as a solar roof

The Smart Hummingbird Camera can be pre-ordered directly from BirdBuddy The price is $239 without the solar panel roof and $299 with the solar panel It is scheduled to ship in May, just in time for the migration season If you already have a Bird Buddy feeder, simply purchase the Hummingbird feeder housing for $99 and move the camera module

According to Bird Buddy, more than 250,000 smart bird feeders have been used worldwide since its launch in 2020
