Birdbuddy’s Nook is a compact smart bird feeder for small spaces and budgets

Birdbuddy has begun selling its renamed smart bird feeders, the compact Nook and the larger Home, which were first announced at CES 2026. The Nook is designed as a lower-cost option for small spaces, while the Home adds capacity and features intended to reduce upkeep.

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.
