SAVE $80: For Black Friday, you can get the Bird Buddy Original Solar Bird Feeder with Camera for $199, down from $279, a 28% discount (Amazon's listed MSRP, $239, is incorrect and you're actually getting a better deal than they're letting on).


Some details on the feeder's special extras: The Bird Buddy uses AI to identify different birds and their species — the tech can even tell if one of the animals is displaying signs of illness. With the camera, users can watch live feeds online or capture 2K video and 5 MP photos of new friends up close and personal. The Bird Buddy's app works with the camera, alerting users when their favorite birds are having a snack.

Keeping the camera charged is easy with the feeder's solar-powered roof. The Bird Buddy's manufacturer ensures the feeder's camera is respectful of privacy and does not share data without a user's acknowledgment.

Any bird lover would adore this eco-feeder, and really anyone who would appreciate a regular soundtrack of calming bird song.
