We see an awful lot of gadgets and tech here….but the folks at Bird Buddy once again have amazed us with the fun their new Smart Hummingbird Feeder can bring. We got ours towards the end of August when the hummingbirds in our neck of the woods started preparing for their long migration…spending as much time at the feeders as possible. And the new Bird Buddy feeder has been able to capture high quality photos and videos…just like the original Smart Bird Feeder. CEO Franci Zidar..

“ It is a follow on. It is completely rebuilt from bottom up for this case. The only thing that’s the same, basically is the module on the camera, but the feeder itself, also because it is nectar and not seed, it requires a completely different design.”

Well done. Find more info at www.mybirdbuddy.com.
