Q: Is it squirrel proof?

submitted by Jennyp - 6 months ago
  • A: Absolutely not!!! Squirrels will get to this

    submitted byMae - 5 months ago
  • A: While it’s not completely squirrel-proof, there are ways to help deter them! If you're worried about squirrels, we recommend using a squirrel baffle and placing the feeder away from trees or structures squirrels can jump from. You can also use seed blends squirrels wouldn't like! 🐦

It will not be able to connect to Wi-Fi @5 GHz (and such networks will not appear on the list of available networks during the pairing process). But no worries, all Wi-Fi routers actually offer the option to connect to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies, and our support is there to help you with the setup. You can reach them at support@mybirdbuddy.com

Q: I purchased this in store and there is a sticker on it that says "New & Improved Camera / HDR, 2K video & Slow Motion" Aren't these the same features of the Pro version?

submitted by Emilio1316 - 5 months ago
  • A: Hi Emilio1316, thanks for reaching out about Bird Buddy Smart Bird Feeder with Camera and Solar Roof. It's very possible that as technology becomes cheaper to make or a module becomes "end of life," many companies will keep making the same product with newer modules, such as the camera. The Pro model will normally have additional features as well. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

    We have really enjoyed this bird feeder! My only complaint is that the solar panel is only on one side and the food storage space is quite small for the considerable amount of birds that’s have been visiting. I’m happy to learn that the new bird buddy is going to have 2 solar panels and bigger food storage. This way we don’t have to fill it up so frequently or turn it to solar charge.

    I received my Bird Buddy with Solar roof as a birthday gift. My children know how much I love to feed wild birds and have done so for many years.. Birds are fun and interesting to watch. Birds are vital to life on this planet. I want to help them as much as I can. Bird Buddy makes feeding birds a pleasure. My Bird Buddy has rewarded me many times with the “bird’s eye view” I get from the camera. I am truly enjoying my Bird Buddy and the cardinals, sparrows, chickadees, cowbirds and finches are too!! My husband commented on how easy it was to install and start up. Thank you for a wonderful product!

My niece has 2 units and she shared access with me to see hers, that’s how I fell in love and she gifted me my own bird buddy. Now she can see my birds too. I shared access with sister too. It’s a joy for the family.

    I spent months researching which Video Bird Feeder to buy… and I couldn’t be any happier with my Bird Buddy! I especially love the water attachment (most of my birds use it daily to drink water!) and the Fruit Attachment! I would recommend ordering this! My advice would be to go ahead and purchase the add-ons (the Perch and the package with the water bottle and the fruit holder) at the same time as the Bird Buddy Smart Feeder Pro because you will see birds right away and you’ll find it hard not to smile every time you receive a text postcard that a bird has visited your feeder! It’s so fun! I have already purchased this twice as gifts for friends! We all share each other’s video postcards! We get pretty competitive though! Love these Bird Buddy products! p.s. I love the brand new upgrade to the Bird Buddy Smart Pro App - you can now press the + symbol on your home page, and upload a personal photo of a bird and it will identify what bird species it is plus lots of other interesting facts about them!
