Why it may suit you
- Bird ID for life with no subscription, a solar roof and two seed mixes at once, plus recordings on a microSD card at home.
- Records to a microSD card, so clips stay at home.
Know before you buy
- Joins 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only; 5 GHz is not supported.
- Buy the version marked “Lifetime AI Included”: the same feeder sold as “AI by Subscription” needs a paid Kiwibit plan for bird ID.

Before it goes outside
Check the exact mount and any required adapters, the loaded weight, and whether you can safely reach the feeder for cleaning. Keep included parts visible on your shopping list so you do not buy them twice.
Keep the food dry, remove spoiled seed and debris, and choose a compartment you can clean thoroughly. Remove electrical parts as the exact manual directs before washing.
