The HEAPETS Smart Bird Feeder is a solar-powered feeder with a built-in HD camera that captures close-up photos and video when a bird visits and pushes them to your phone through the app. AI species recognition labels who stopped by, so it turns into a running gallery of the birds in your yard. The solar panel keeps the camera topped up, and the feeder mounts on a pole or hangs from a branch. Best fit: backyard birders, grandparents and remote-working bird fans who want a live window on the feed

Frequently asked questions

Does it need to be plugged in?

No, it is solar powered, so the panel keeps the camera charged in normal daylight. You only need to top it off manually during long stretches of heavy clouds.

How do I see the birds?

The camera connects over Wi-Fi to a phone app that pushes photos and video when a bird visits, and it labels the species using AI recognition.

Is there a subscription?

Basic alerts and viewing work out of the box, but some advanced species and cloud-storage features may use an optional app subscription. Check the current app terms before buying.

Where should I mount it?

It mounts on a standard feeder pole or hangs from a branch. Place it where you get a clean camera angle and where local songbirds already visit for the best footage.
