  • A: Bird Buddy's connectivity is supported by the typical wireless standard 802.11 b/g/n with a 2.4 GHz frequency that uses the Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2 or WPA3) protocol. It will not be able to connect to Wi-Fi @5 GHz (and such networks will not appear on the list of available networks during the pairing process). But no worries, all Wi-Fi routers actually offer the option to connect to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies, and our support is there to help you with the setup. You can reach them at support@mybirdbuddy.com

Bought this for my father for Christmas. We found a spot above his back patio with full sun. My two biggest issues… 1) the solar panel alone will not charge the camera enough. We have to pull it down and charge it to keep it going. 2) in order for me, the non-primary account holder or viewer, to watch using the “live” feature, I have to buy a subscription. Rip off

I really enjoy the feeder and watching the birds. I do wish it came with more available accessories like a cage to keep out the larger birds like grackles. While they all need to eat they rather bully the other birds. Plus I've put larger seed holders on both of mine otherwise I'd be filling it multiple times a day.

W K - 15 days ago, Verified purchaser
Took months of back-and-forth with manufacturer to finally get product somewhat operational, and I became embarrassed to have given this as a gift. If setup and operation was seamless, this would probably be a 5-star product, as the photos and videos obtained are quite good.

Support is not great, it broke after a few months, and it's been hard to get a replacement. My dad had to purchase a separate little tool sold on Etsy in order to fill the feeder. It's impossible to fill. The app stinks too.

I love the images and videos, but I cannot keep the solar roof on. It has been beyond frustrating. It’s like the metal hanger “pops” the roof off. It’s fallen once (and didn’t break!) so admittedly, it’s kind of languishing in my garage.

I received my Bird Buddy as a gift and I absolutely love it! Watching the videos and seeing the stunning images of all the different birds that visit every day brings me so much joy. It's amazing how many birds stop by, and the clarity of the photos and videos is incredible. I really enjoy being able to name frequent visitors. It truly feels like I'm getting a front-row seat to nature from the comfort of my home. BB TV is another favorite—I could watch it for hours! It's such a peaceful and fascinating way to unwind, and it’s become a daily ritual I genuinely look forward to. Bird Buddy has not only deepened my appreciation for birds but also added a little magic to my routine. I now pay it forward and give friends and family their own Bird Buddy. I highly recommend to anyone who loves nature, photography, or just a daily dose of beauty and wonder!
