These days, it\u2019s not all that surprising to see feeders kitted out with cameras and solar roofs, two marquee features you\u2019ll find on feeders from both BirdBuddy and Netvue. And while modern hoppers can command a pretty penny, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/gadgets\/897580\/amazon-big-spring-sale-2026-deals-news\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon\u2019s Big Spring Sale<\/a> has dropped the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0BB6997V1\/?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Netvue Birdfy Feeder<\/a> to $135.99 ($124 off) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0DHY6B9GY?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Birdbuddy Pro<\/a> to $179.99 ($120 off), which are some of the best prices we\u2019ve seen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">At their core, both smart bird feeders are designed to help you keep an eye on your soon-to-be feathery friends, allowing for image stills, video, notifications, and AI-powered identification. Birdfy\u2019s offering cuts corners on hardware to keep costs down, though. It features the widest viewing angle of any model at 155 degrees; however, the video quality maxes out at 1080p, whereas the Birdbuddy Pro allows you to capture crystal-clear 2K video (with slow-mo). The accompanying solar panel isn\u2019t integrated directly into the snap-on roof like it is with the Pro, either, which means it doesn\u2019t look quite as slick once set up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Software-wise, both motion-activated feeders support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and feature robust, user-friendly apps that can identify species and alert you when a bird is present. Birdbuddy\u2019s is a bit more lively and capable if you\u2019re willing to subscribe to <a href=\"https:\/\/birdbuddyinc.sjv.io\/c\/1141873\/2955833\/35091?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmybirdbuddy.com%2Fmemberships\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Birdbuddy Premium<\/a> ($69.99 a year), which unlocks additional info via an AI-powered chat, unlimited video storage, and the ability to track returning visitors, plus the option to view Birdbuddy feeds from around the world. That said, Birdfy\u2019s bird recognition software is free for life \u2014 at least with the bundle on offer here \u2014 meaning you won\u2019t have to routinely pay for a subscription just to access the essentials. Just be prepared for lots of notifications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bird feeders have come a long way since their inception in the early 1900s.
