Our Guide To The Best Smart Bird Feeders On Amazon
One noteworthy addition to this 'smart' technology category is smart bird feeders, which can detect motion, identify birds and capture videos so you know exactly who is visiting your backyard. Pretty much the only thing this tech can't do is refill itself with birdseed — everything else is automated and sometimes even self-charging thanks to solar pads.
If you're on the market for a bird feeder that can up your birdwatching game, it might feel overwhelming to sift through the many options now crowding the market. We did the hard part for you and compiled some of the best smart bird feeders on Amazon based on cost, quality, reviews and features.
This affordable and high-value Osoeri smart bird feeder
Highlights: Can identify over 11,000 types of birds, charges with a solar panel, and can be mounted on a tree, wall or pole... all for under $110The Osoeri bird feeder seems to have everything you could possibly want in a smart bird feeder, and it even comes in multiple colors that you can match to your own aesthetic. The Osoeri comes with a strap and pole fasteners that allow you to attach it to a pole. However, the feeder can also lay completely flat, which is something other models like the PeckPerk I own (more on that later) can't do.Drawbacks: Some users reported that some of their motion alerts were false alarms, and complained about the camera quality.Bottom line: The Osoeri seems to be well worth its relatively affordable price and has all the features you could want in a bird feeder. If you plan to give this as a gift, expect tons and tons of cute bird videos. Price: $62.05+ (available in three colors)
Harymor's popular option with two solar panels
Highlights: Two separate solar panels to power it around the clock, mounts on a tree or wall, uses AI to identify bird typesTurn your bird feeder into a bird feeding frenzy with Harymor's smart feeder and its large amount of food storage. This feeder comes in two colors — forest green and bright orange — and, like others on this list, it has the ability to identify and record birds. You'll get live alerts every time a bird visits, with a description of which breed is in front of the camera. This is also the most popular smart bird feeder on Amazon, with 4.6 stars across more than 1,300 ratings. Drawbacks: This is more expensive than the first two bird feeders on the list, and other than an additional solar panel, it doesn't seem to have much more to offer to offset the added cost. Bottom line: This is a trustworthy, well-vetted model that can make your birding dreams come true — but it'll cost you extra.Price: $139.99
A FeatherSnap dual feeder you can install almost anywhere
Highlights: Has a dual feeder and a stake for easy installation, uses AI to identify birds, offers alerts and live viewIf you're worried about installing a bird feeder into your fence or don't have good places to drill into nearby, the FeatherSnap is the solution. This bird feeder comes with a stake that goes directly into the ground, allowing you to place it just about anywhere. This model also solves another common bird feeder issue: Instead of needing to choose just one food type, potentially missing out on bird species, you can use its dual feeder to have two different types of bird seed.Drawbacks: This one is the most expensive, and doesn't appear to include a hummingbird feeder or fruit forks. Bottom line: The ease of installation is a huge positive, but if you're a hummingbird fan you might want to skip this one. Price: $179.99
The solar-powered PeckPerk smart bird feeder
Highlights: Captures real-time footage of bird activity, identifies 10,000+ birds, charges with a solar panel, has a helpful accompanying app with 24/7 alerts when birds stop byThe PeckPerk bird feeder is a solid choice when it comes to improving your home birding game, especially if you want to start getting to know the species that stop by most often. It comes with an attachable fruit fork and a small sugar water dispenser to help you attract hummingbirds, as well as a large compartment for seeds that replenishes itself until it runs out. Drawbacks: I personally have this bird feeder, and the biggest inconvenience was setting it up. The way the feeder is modeled makes it hard to use the tree or pole straps: You need to attach an L-shaped piece first, then click the bird feeder into place, but its weight is unbalanced, causing everything to fall forward. It also cannot sit flat on its own, due to the component on the bottom meant to click the into the base, so it seems like a product design failure.Bottom line: A great choice, so long as you have the right space for it. I'd only recommend this bird feeder if you have your own tripod or somewhere you can drill the L-shaped holder into place, like the side of a garage or a wooden fence.Price: $119 (available in two colors)
This metal PeckCam smart bird feeder with a subscription app
Highlights: One of the cheaper models on this list, made of durable metal, cute colorful design, mounts on poles, trees or walls, uses AI to identify birds, solar-powered with a separate solar panelThe PeckCam is unique for being made out of iron, instead of plastic, making it longer-lasting and more eco-friendly. It also comes with a 32GB memory card that stores different bird encounters and saves them for you, so you have a backup in case your phone doesn't keep the videos or you miss something. This unit has 1080 HD video with live view and night vision, and (like others on the list) has a squirrel deterrent alarm to keep your bird feed supply safe. Drawbacks: The app has a subscription model, and it customers report that you miss out on key features if you aren't paying the monthly fee. Bottom line: The PeckCam is cute and durable, and less expensive than some other popular versions, but the app's subscription model might make it more costly in the long run. Price: $99.99 (available in three colors)

Ultimate Ears' Wonderboom 4 speaker is cheaper than ever at 40 percent off
If you're hosting a small get-together or hangout at the park, a small speaker like the UE Wonderboom 4 can provide the soundtrack. It's the kind of gadget that fades into the background yet remains as important as the food and drink. And right now, it's down to just $59.99 ($40 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo, which is its lowest price to date. The Wonderboom 4's compact design — which is roughly the size of a softball — makes it easy to bring anywhere, whether you're lounging by the pool or cruising on a bike. One of its handiest features is the built-in loop, which allows you to clip on a carabiner and hook it right to your backpack. That way, you can hike with your friends on the trail and everyone can enjoy your outdoor playlist. Despite its smaller size, the battery life is estimated to last up to 14 hours, so you won't have to worry about charging it if you're away from an outlet all day. In addition to all-day battery life, the compact USB-C speaker features an IP67 rating, so it should be able to withstand dust, dirt, and water. And if you're clumsy like me, you'll be happy to know that the speaker is built to endure drops (it even floats). It can also easily connect to Android devices thanks to Google's Fast Pair feature, and you can link two units to create stereo sound, giving you a richer, more immersive listening experience. A few Verge staffers own the Wonderboom 4 and recommend it for its combination of size, sound, and price. We're generally fans of Ultimate Ears' catalog of wireless speakers, which offer decent audio performance, are very durable, and, of course, are easy to transport. The Wonderboom 4 comes in a variety of colors — many of which are on sale — but if you're on the fence for what to get, The Verge's David Pierce recommends the blue.

Amazon.com (AMZN) Partners With Sendbird To Enhance AI Capabilities And Market Reach
Sendbird Inc.'s recent collaboration with AWS marks a significant development in the AI agent space, likely aligning positively with market expectations for growth in agentic AI. During the last quarter, saw its stock price move 5%, a change that can be attributed to a combination of factors, including its robust Q2 earnings report and the completion of a substantial share repurchase program. The company's strategic partnerships and expansion initiatives, such as the $10 billion investment in North Carolina for infrastructure, complemented broader market trends, which have been buoyant with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hitting all-time highs. We've identified 1 weakness with and understanding the impact should be part of your investment process. Diversify your portfolio with solid dividend payers offering reliable income streams to weather potential market turbulence. The collaboration between Sendbird Inc. and AWS could enhance Amazon's role in AI-driven solutions, particularly in the AI agent space. This complements the narrative that cloud transition and AI adoption will propel Amazon's growth. The ongoing development in AI, coupled with AWS's leadership, might positively influence future revenue and earnings forecasts, as AWS leverages its infrastructure to meet increasing AI demands. However, competitive and regulatory pressures remain, potentially affecting the ability to maintain margins. Over a three-year period, Amazon's total shareholder return reached 54.56%, underscoring strong performance. This return outpaced the US Multiline Retail industry's one-year performance, where Amazon exceeded the 28.3% industry gain. In comparison to the broader market, Amazon also surpassed the US Market's 19.4% increase over the past year. Considering the current share price of US$221.30 against the consensus price target of US$262.14, there is an 18.46% discount to the target, suggesting room for growth if forecasts align with reality.

These headphones rival Sony and Bose, fans say — they're just $32 for a short time
It's no mystery why Tozo earbuds are popular — the low price and high quality make for a compelling buy. Now, the company is hitting that sweet spot again with its over-ear HT2 Headphones, on sale at Amazon. Fans compare them to higher-end options like Sony or Bose, which should tell you something: It's time to grab a pair for yourself. They're down to $32 thanks to a limited-time Lightning Deal — the lowest we've ever seen them. Why is this a good deal? 💰 Those Sony headphones we mentioned? Some of them go for nearly $400. These Tozos are less than a tenth of that price. (Even Sony's most affordable option, the WH-CH520s, are $49.) At 36% off, Tozo's HT2s are the lowest price we've seen them and, quite frankly, a no-brainer. They're also available in seven colors, though prices vary by color. Why do I need these? 🤔 Let's start with the battery life. These cans get 60 hours of playback on a single charge, which is absolutely bonkers. That's more than 700 songs or nearly 10 coast-to-coast flights. The battery life drops a bit when you use ANC (active noise cancelling), but you're still looking at about 40 hours of crisp, clear audio excellence. Don't worry, though. Even if they do manage to run out of juice, you can connect them through a wired connection to continue listening without missing a (literal) beat. The 40-millimeter drivers produce fantastic sound, including crisp high notes and clear bass. The ear cups are made of soft leather and automatically adjust to your head. The Tozo app lets you tweak the settings for different types of music. When it's time to stop listening, these fold up for easy storage and transport. What reviewers say 💬 These headphones have nearly 3,000 happy fans who vouch for their quality. Pros 👍 "These were purchased to replace a pair of Sony CH520s that got paint all over them. I think these Tozo headphones are better in every regard," one fan said. "They are comfortable (I wear glasses). The ear cups are ergonomic; each side has a range of pivot at the headpiece; the headpiece is adjustable (fits my weird head); the crown of the headpiece has nice padding. ... They sound amazing. The bass is deep without any adjustments. The sound is clearly better than the Sony." Another thrifty reviewer also wrote that the sound is on par with higher-end models. "I lost a pair of Bose over-the-ear headphones (yes, that was a painful $375 loss). I wanted to buy another set, but not at $375. Then I read about the quality and reliability of this brand, Tozo! What a wonderful surprise. The quality is comparable to my previous set." "These are amazing," echoed a third thrilled buyer. "For the price, you will not find any better headphones out there. They are comfortable, noise-cancelling is excellent and the sound quality is unsurpassed. They pair very easily, and the app lets you adjust your EQ to suit your tastes. Great buy." Cons 👎 Just because they can be used wired doesn't mean there are no strings attached (so to speak). "One downside I found was [that] the wired connection does not allow for noise cancelling. So if you are connected to something like a laptop that doesn't have Bluetooth, they will then work like regular headsets. So you may want a Bluetooth adapter in that case," shared one shopper. (If you need one, we recommend the TP-Link Bluetooth Adapter.) Another fan offered an audio-related gripe: "My only complaint is the beeping sound the headphones make when they have a low charge. I wished the sound could have been a little bit less sharp." The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.
