KEY POINTS

  • •Birdbuddy introduced two smart bird feeders, Birdbuddy 2 and Birdbuddy 2 Mini, ahead of CES 2026.
  • •The Birdbuddy 2 costs $199 and features a 2K HDR camera with a wider 135-degree field of view.
  • •The devices include an upgraded mic for better birdsong pickup and instant wake functionality for quick bird shots.

Birdbuddy decided our boring bird feeders deserved a tech makeover with the Birdbuddy 2 costing a casual $199. Released ahead of CES 2026, this flagship bird feeder upgrades your nosy backyard spy game with a redesigned circular camera housing that shoots in 2K HDR and can switch between portrait or landscape faster than you spill your coffee. It’s packed with a wider 135-degree field of view, so no bird’s morning gossip escapes your grasp. Plus, a built-in upgraded mic claims it’ll capture bird song better, presumably so your neighbors can finally hear Robin’s off-key opera. The cheaper 2 Mini aims at first-timers and cramped patios—because now spying on birds comes with options, like ordering a small or large life obsession.
