We love the Bird Buddy. This smart feeder camera was the most popular item with our readers last Prime Day and is now even cheaper than before. There are two versions: one with solar energy on the roof (which we recommend), and one without. If you do not choose to charge via solar energy, you will have to charge the battery every five to fifteen days, which may not be very convenient depending on the placement.

I would definitely recommend the sunroof so you don’t have to think about charging the camera.
It looks like a typical bird feeder, but the Bird Buddy has a built-in HD camera with a wide-angle lens specifically designed to capture close-ups of feathered friends who come to visit. The companion app can use built-in AI to identify birds coming to the feeder and notify you. It also has an alert function, so it can tell you when your new winged friends are eating. The sunroof continuously charges the battery during the day, reducing the need or even eliminating the need to take the battery down to charge. It’s both hugely entertaining and very educational, which is rare.
