Hi makers and hunters! First of all Kevin William David, thank you so much for the hunt! We’re a young international team split between Slovenia, Michigan and England. Professional backgrounds of our team members include projects like Google Chromecast, My Talking Tom, Chipolo, etc. We launched Bird Buddy on Kickstarter in November and have been completely overwhelmed by all the love and support ever since. People who feed birds are the best people! <3 Just a few words about our mission: we are not stopping with the smart bird feeder. We’re here to gamify your backyard! A lot of startups are working on smart home solutions, but we figured somebody should explore the concept of a “fun home” instead :) Birds are a pretty obvious place to start. They represent the only wildlife most people still encounter everyday. Also, we freaking love birds! Happy to answer any questions! Žiga

How fantastic is this! As a parent I would definitely get one of these for my kid. How big is the data base though? Does it recognize birds from a specific region only?

@yulia_mamonova Hi Yulia! Thank you for the kind words! Our database contains most birds that often frequent bird feeders from all over the world and does not skew too much to any particular region. As of right now it contains over 1000 bird species but we'll gradually grow and improve this database with time. Hope this helps! :)

This is a wonderful idea. My mom has a huge garden and is a bird and wildlife enthusiast, so I can't wait to receive this for her. I'm also a nurse and believe this would be wonderful for people that can't get outside as much to enjoy the outdoors due to age, mobility, illness or this virus shutdowns. A great way to bring the outdoors to wherever you are.

@kmattee Hey Kelly! Thank you for reaching out and for the kind words! This is one aspect that definitely excites us the most. Offering people a way to connect with nature and wildlife around them. You'll be able to invite many people to your Bird Buddy account and share access with them so you'll be able to experience is together! ❤️

@kmattee great opinion. I'd never thought about that this product may be equivalent of walk outside!

My kids will love this. We have been feeding birds for years now and always regretted missing out on them. So stoked!

This will be perfect for our hotel garden! We already have a weather camera on top of our building, giving cyclists and hikers important real time information. Would be awsome when hotel guests could observe the local birds using Bird Buddy!

Fantastic video. I started watching it muted and realized it was something special so I stopped my Hernan Cattaneo DJ set and watched it from start to finish. Bravo. Gonna get a couple of these for my family, for sure.

@joshuapinter Hey Joshua! Thank you for the kind words and for your support! Awesome to hear that you enjoyed the video as we've taken a bit of a risk in putting the story first in contrast with most successful Kickstarter videos. We really felt like it's important to capture what we see as most important about Bird Buddy and it's not features and specs. It's the connection to nature and wildlife around us. Thank you!

Review Bird Buddy?

Reviewers mostly describe Bird Buddy as a fun, easy way to follow birds day to day, with sharp photos, timely notifications, useful species ID, and an app that helps families share visits and learn together. Many say setup is straightforward and that the solar roof or newer camera improves the experience. The main complaints are about pairing and Wi‑Fi issues, weak battery life for some users, occasional misidentification, awkward seed filling, slow support, and long shipping delays—especially in older Kickstarter-era orders.
