Bird Buddy
See every bird that visits your feeder
Know who visits your garden. Bird Buddy shows the latest visitor photo and video of your smart bird feeder on your Homey dashboard and lets your flows react as soon as a new bird stops by. New birds are identified, including on free accounts: turn on "Automatically identify birds" in the feeder settings. The app counts every visit per bird species by day, week, month and year, starting with the numbers Bird Buddy already has, and shows them in a widget. Use flows to flash a light or play a sound for a specific species, a new species or a milestone, such as the 50th robin. Bird names are shown in your own language.
Log in with the email address and password of your Bird Buddy account. Google or Facebook sign-in is not supported, so create an account with a password and invite it to your feeder in the Bird Buddy app. This app is not made or supported by Bird Buddy and can stop working if Bird Buddy changes its service.
