Bird Buddy Pro Solar Bird Feeder Camera Review

Hello, my fellow cat and bird-loving friends. My cats love to watch streaming videos of birds on TV, and I was recently gifted a bird feeder cam. I didn't know what to expect, including camera quality or if my backyard birds would even like the new birdfeeder. After using it for a few weeks, I'm posting my honest review of the Birdbuddy Pro Solar Bird Feeder with Camera for my followers and anyone interested in learning about it. 

Capabilities of the Birdbuddy Solar Feeder

  • Solar panel for continual charging
  • HD camera
  • Supports HDR (high dynamic range) for amazing photos and videos
  • Up to 2K video resolution
  • Image and video notifications
  • Collect and organize favorite photos on the app
  • Alexa compatible 
  • AI nature chat 
  • Species recognition

  • Report sick or injured birds through the app
  • High-quality recorded audio that can be turned on or off

How Easy is it to Set Up? 

The feeder itself came assembled, and it was so easy to attach the camera, perch, and other included parts. You simply plug in the camera and attach it to the solar panel. It came with port plugs to use when the camera isn't attached. The only time I plan to unattach it is during storms or times of extremely cold or hot temperatures. These simple instructions are in the box. 

To watch the action, all you have to do is download the app and connect to wi-fi and Bluetooth. It was so easy!

My YouTube Channel - Birds for Cats to Watch

Would you like to see the videos I've captured with my Ad - Bird Buddy Solar Bird Feeder? I started out compressing my videos to transfer them via Yahoo email to my laptop computer, but that wasn't necessary. I hadn't thought about video quality after compression at first, but after downloading the YouTube creator app, it was easier, and the quality was phenomenal. With that said, my earlier videos aren't as high-quality as the more recent ones. Like anything, there's a learning curve, but it's still very easy to share, whether you're posting them on social media or not. 

Is a Paid Subscription Required?

You absolutely do not have to sign up for a premium plan to enjoy your bird feeder camera and share the photos and videos. However, I signed up for a yearly subscription so that others would have direct access to the app. That way, my friends could receive 'postcards' from the app with video and photo captures, as well as access to the live stream. The included 1080p video resolution option was great, but the premium subscription enabled me to use 2K resolution for my YouTube channel - after I discovered I had it!

Check Out My Bird Feeder Shorts 

Stop by my channel, Backyard Birds for Cats, to see my latest and (so far) greatest videos. I have to say it... Be sure to also like, comment, and subscribe! Let me know that you found my channel through my review. 

Every day, I'm surprised by new guests and their antics! I've also learned a lot of new and interesting information on birds that frequent my feeder. I had been misidentifying a couple of species, and I've learned a lot about their courting rituals and challenges. It's way cooler than I had ever imagined, and it's by far one of the best gifts I've ever received.

Can't Reach Clothes in the Bottom of the Washer

Image
My blog is primarily about cats, but I have to discuss a problem that I can't help but think must be common. I can't reach the clothes in the bottom of the washing machine. Do you have that issue too?  Deep Drum Washers and Struggling to Reach the Clothes After getting my new machine, I began by washing my cat's blankets and a few furniture coverings, and the first thing I noticed was the super deep drum! I'm about 5' 4" tall, and my arms are either short or manufacturers aren't considering height when designing these products.  A Reacher Grabber Tool is Safer than a Stool or Chair My first inclination was to stand on my little *Ad -  wooden stool , but I immediately envisioned falling into the drum and getting stuck with my legs up in the air. I have a good imagination, but I am more cautious these days. My mind went back to when I stood on the arm of the couch to reach a plant, and the padding shifted. After a two-second life review while falling to the ...

My Cat Has a Feral Accent

Image
From the time my previously feral cat was tiny, her form of cat speak was atypical. Since ferals aren't around humans, they communicate differently than their domestic counterparts. They make a series of trills and other vocalizations, some without opening their mouths.  I call Mitsy 'my cat with a feral accent'. The sounds she makes are far different than any cat I've had in the past. She can meow, but she had to learn how by observing my senior cat Panda Bear. She had lots to learn! Mitsy's First Meow I hadn't really thought much about Mitsy not meowing, even though just about every sound she made came from her throat and through a closed mouth. One morning, she let out a big, loud meowww that surprised me and scared her! She wanted food, and she knew that she had to speak up.  Mitsy's eyes looked as big as saucers after her very first word. She learned by observing Panda Bear communicate with house-humans through meows. Since human beings are vocal creat...

My Cat Chewed Ficus Tree Leaves and Survived

Image
My Aldi ficus tree was doing remarkably better - until my cat started chewing on it. Yes, I know that ficus is toxic to cats. I keep my bedroom door closed now. She didn't suffer any ill effects, and my title was dramatic, but I wouldn't risk it now that I'm aware of the dangers. Besides, the leaves are now riddled with puncture marks, and I'd like it to survive another 15 years.  That plant was about six inches tall and started as a bonsai when I bought it a decade and a half ago. It started out with a neatly braided trunk secured with gold twist ties. Unfortunately, one section didn't grow tall like the rest. I quit trying to keep it braided after it became obviously shorter.  Toxic Plants and Cats Back to the subject of my post, since I am covering the dilemma of my cat chewing on my ficus tree. Many houseplants are toxic, including common ones like poinsettia and lilies. You must keep the cat and plants separated or opt for other varieties. If you can't keep...
