Bird Buddy

We love to watch the birds that visit our yard, and recently added a Bird Buddy feeder to our renovated landscape. The feeder is solar powered and includes a camera for capturing images of the birds that stop by to feed. The bird feeder is mounted on a tall, squirrel-proof pole. You can monitor the feeder through an app on your smartphone, download snapshots, and subscribe to postcards of birds visiting other feeders.

At first, we didn't receive any feathered visitors, but the literature indicates that it can take several weeks before birds discover the feeder and feel comfortable approaching. A couple of times we had "almost visitors", but they didn't stay.


An Oak Titmouse now visits regularly (this time bringing a tasty insect)

Finally an Oak Titmouse visited the feeder, and it's been busy ever since. Here is a shot of an Oak Titmouse and the insect it brought!
