Leading the lineup is Birdbuddy Nook, the company's most accessible smart bird feeder yet, starting at just $99 for the non-solar model, available exclusively on mybirdbuddy.com. Designed for first-time birdwatchers and smaller outdoor spaces, Nook brings Birdbuddy's signature AI-powered discovery experience to a compact, easy-to-use design. Launching alongside Nook is Birdbuddy Home, the company's new flagship smart bird feeder, offering enhanced convenience and a low-maintenance birdwatching experience for backyard bird enthusiasts.
First unveiled at CES in January as the Birdbuddy 2 Mini and Birdbuddy 2, respectively, both feeders introduce significant upgrades in camera technology, performance, and design.
"We've always believed that connecting with nature should be something everyone can enjoy, but we also know that price can be a barrier for people who are just getting started," said Franci Zidar, CEO and Co-Founder of Birdbuddy. "Nook is our first product under $100, and that's a big milestone for us. We wanted to create something that makes it easy for someone to give Birdbuddy a try, whether they're curious about the birds in their backyard or looking for a gift that feels a little more meaningful. It's about making that first connection with nature as simple and accessible as possible."
