Description
xBird Buddy Solar Hummingbird Feeder is a smart, solar-powered nectar feeder with an integrated 2K camera and AI bird identification to capture photos and videos of hummingbirds visiting your backyard.
Bring hummingbirds closer to your home with a feeder designed for both the birds and curious people. This Bird Buddy model combines a discreet 2K camera and 5MP stills with continuous solar charging, so you can record visits without intrusive hardware. The companion app uses AI to identify species and individual birds (premium subscription required for advanced features) while keeping the camera's field of view focused on the feeder to protect your privacy.
How clear are the photos and videos?
The feeder records 2K video and captures 5MP photographs, delivering crisp close-ups of fast-moving hummingbirds. Slow-motion capture and quick photo bursts help freeze wingbeats and feeding behavior for study or sharing.

Does the feeder keep charging outdoors?
The solar roof provides continuous charging in sunny conditions, extending camera uptime and reducing the need to remove the unit for recharging. A built-in battery stores power so the camera remains active during low-light periods.

FAQ
Q: Do I need a subscription to use the Bird Buddy app?
A: You can use basic features without a subscription, but advanced AI identification, individual bird tracking, and richer insights require a premium subscription.
