Both use a 2K HDR camera with a 135-degree field of view that activates when a bird lands, and Birdbuddy’s app uses AI to identify visiting species. The Nook starts at $99, with solar and extended-perch versions costing $159 and $199; its seed reservoir holds 3.8 cups. The $219 Home holds six cups, includes two roof-mounted solar panels and a perch extender, and has dual-band Wi-Fi and an upgraded microphone for identifying birdsong.
