Unlike traditional feeders, this model gives owners an extreme up-close view of the birds. You don’t have to worry about frightening skittish creatures away because you want to get a better look.

A solar-powered battery charges a built-in camera on the feeder. Through a WiFi-connected network, the feeder will notify the owner when a bird lands. An instant notification get sent to a smartphone, through the feeder’s app, and the camera sends pictures or video directly to the phone.

The camera’s lens provides clear images, even in low-light conditions, with included infrared LED array technology. Up to three days of video gets stored on the feeder’s memory.

In addition to the images, the feeder’s artificial intelligence can identify the visiting bird and send information about the species. The database has information on more than 10,000 birds. This makes for a wonderful educational tool for all ages.
