CES 2026: Birdbuddy Debuts New Smart Bird Feeders

Birdbuddy has announced two new smart bird feeders, the Birdbuddy 2 and the Birdbuddy 2 Mini. The Birdbuddy 2, priced at $199, offers 2K HDR video, a wider field of view, dual solar power, improved audio, and increased seed capacity. It features a versatile camera housing allowing portrait or landscape mounting and slow-motion recording. A new microphone enables birdsong recording and identification, contributing to species recognition. The Birdbuddy 2 is scheduled for a February 2026 launch, with pre-orders already sold out. The Birdbuddy 2 Mini, costing $129, shares core camera technology but has a simpler design suitable for new users or smaller spaces. It has less seed capacity but includes an easy-refill roof, with a solar panel as an optional extra. The Mini is expected to be available for order mid-2026, launching later that year. Birdbuddy is also showcasing the Petal Smart Nature Camera, designed for identifying birds and insects outdoors. The Petal cameras are slated to begin shipping this summer.
