Birdbuddy is finally launching the new smart bird feeders it originally announced at CES 2026 earlier this year, but with new names. The Birdbuddy 2 Mini is now called the Birdbuddy Nook, and it is designed to be a smaller and more affordable option the company describes as its “most accessible smart bird feeder yet.” The flagship Birdbuddy 2 has been renamed the Birdbuddy Home and delivers upgrades like a redesigned camera with a wider field of view and integrated solar panels. Both models are now available through Birdbuddy’s online store while some configurations will be available at other retailers later this month.

The Birdbuddy Nook starts at $99 and features a redesigned circular 2K HDR camera with a 135-degree field of view. The camera wakes up the moment a bird lands to help ensure visits are captured. The camera can shoot in landscape or portrait orientations, making it easier to share videos and images on social media, while the AI-powered Birdbuddy app identifies exactly what species is visiting.

The Nook’s 3.8-cup seed reservoir may need frequent refills if a lot of birds regularly stop by, but you can avoid frequent battery charges by upgrading to the $159 Nook Solar, which adds a solar panel to the roof. For an extra $40 on top of that, the $199 Nook Extended Edition includes a larger perch to accommodate more birds.

The $219 Birdbuddy Home uses the same 2K HDR camera with a 135-degree field of view as the Nook, but in a larger feeder designed to require less maintenance. It has a six-cup seed reservoir and comes with a pair of solar panels on top to help keep the battery charged, assuming the feeder’s installed somewhere with adequate sun exposure. The Home also has a built-in perch extender to accommodate more visitors, dual-band Wi-Fi, and an upgraded mic that can help the mobile app more accurately identify a species through its birdsong.
