Designed to lure in hummingbirds, the feeder comes with a red lily flower that offers easy disassembly for regular cleaning without hassle. 

Using AI technology, the hummingbird feeder can capture photos and videos of a whopping 350 different hummingbird species. A motion sensor will trigger the built-in camera to snap images of any birds that visit the feeder, including wing speeds of up to 60mph.

Once it snaps a photo, the device sends a smartphone notification via the Bird Buddy App, which identifies which species made a pit stop at the feeder thanks to the species-identifiying algorithm.

The feeder comes with three lily shapes to attract hummingbirds.

"In order to create a product that both people and hummingbirds would want to use, we knew we had to develop a practical design that allowed for quick assembly, zero leaks, and easy cleaning," says co-founder and chief hardware officer Kyle Buzzard. And, of course, we're proud of our high-quality camera that provides crisp images and amazing videos of hummingbirds from a completely new perspective."
