Bird Buddy, a startup known for its AI-powered smart bird feeders, has launched a new digital product called Bird Buddy Explore. This feature allows users to browse feeds from Bird Buddy cameras worldwide, including locations beyond the continental U.S. The company aims to expand its reach to those who haven't bought its feeders, enabling them to enjoy birdwatching in various locations and habitats. The Bird Buddy app, which was previously designed only for feeder owners, now includes the Explore section where users can swipe through remote bird feeders worldwide and connect to the feeder they want to watch.

Along with the new digital product, Bird Buddy is also launching two new accessories to attract more bird species to its feeders. The company has also introduced a subscription product, Bird Buddy Pro, which offers features like muting or ignoring species, adding additional guest slots, and a new frenzy mode for maximizing bird detections. Later this fall, Bird Buddy plans to introduce a seed subscription service for its customers. Currently, Bird Buddy customers have installed 150,000 feeders worldwide, capable of recognizing over 1,000 bird species.
