The launch follows a familiar script.
Bird Buddy’s smart feeder is just another “smart” thing to put in your backyard. It’s a bird feeder with a camera, because that’s exactly what we needed. The app is like Pokémon, but with birds. Because what’s more exciting than watching birds eat seeds? The feeder’s AI-powered bird recognition technology is just a fancy way of saying “machine learning.” And, of course, it’s compatible with both iOS and Android, because you need to be able to check your bird feeder from anywhere. It’s just like having a virtual bird-watching experience, but with more Wi-Fi.
