Mother’s Day Deals on Smart Bird Feeders (2026)

I'm a mom, and I like birds.

If you know a mom who likes birds, chances are, she'll enjoy seeing the birds that visit her yard up close on her phone or tablet.

I've been scouring the internet for the best sales on camera-equipped smart bird feeders that I've personally tested and recommend—ones with easy-to-navigate apps that are simple to set up and maintain, as your mom probably has enough to worry about.

I have been covering smart bird feeders for two years, and I have never seen a Birdfy-brand feeder priced this low, at nearly 60 percent off for Mother's Day.

Is it my favorite of Birdfy's offerings ?

No, but it is inarguably the simplest, with tool-free, snap-together assembly and no solar panels to mount.

(You will need to bring it inside to charge the 1080p camera's battery when it runs out.) It's basically a gravity pet feeder with a camera mounted on the side, but if your mom is new to the world of smart bird feeders, it's a fine entry point and unbeatable for the price.

Note that seeds in the tray will get wet in the rain since there's no roof, and the lid sits loosely on top and can blow off in strong winds (as mine did), so make sure Mom waits until decent weather before trying it out.

Sale ends May 9.

Lite Smart Bird Feeder, No Solar
Lite Smart Bird Feeder, With Solar and Giftable Box
This is the exact same feeder as the one above, but it comes with a solar panel so it can stay charged.

(Note that you'll have to mount it separately.) It also comes packaged in a tasteful ecru box with gold accents.

This is definitely a better presentation than Amazon's default gift-wrap option, the ubiquitous polyester tie-top bags, which can run up to $6.

Note that there's an on-page coupon that brings the price down to $130, and you can use coupon code BF1WIRED12 at checkout for an extra 12 percent off this package, which brings the price down to just $114!

Note that this giftable version is only available in the blue roof-and-perch accent color.

The coupon is good through May 10.

As seen in my guide to the Best Smart Bird Feeders , Kiwibit's Bird Feeder 2 takes all the conveniences of the Birdfy Lite, above, and ups the ante with higher-quality 4K HD video, 8-MP photos, and a seed hopper that pulls in and out of the feeder for easy refills, so you don't have to take the whole thing down to refill it.

It can even hold a different type of feed on each side.

The body is heavier and sturdier than the above models, and the solar panel is built into the roof, so you don't have to worry about having to mount it separately.

Note that you will need to pay $50 more for the version with AI ID if you don't want to deal with a subscription, but it's not critical; it's easy enough to paste images of birds you don't recognize into Google.

Pro Solar Smart Hummingbird Feeder + Extra Base
The Duo is often on sale for around $280, so this is really only a $30 savings, but I have been enjoying it so much this spring that I'd be remiss not to suggest it as a gift idea.

( It also looks great , if you're averse to the colorful plastic of most smart feeders.) The bamboo Duo sports two 2-MP cameras, one facing the entrance so you can see bird comings and goings, and one unobtrusively tucked inside.

There's a solar panel that does a great job of keeping the cameras charged regardless of the weather, but if something does go wrong, there's a remote with a 10-foot cord that lets you charge the camera manually or reset it.

It comes with four interchangeable holes in different sizes to appeal to different species, as well as metal predator guards for each size to deter chewing.

I currently have black-capped chickadees nesting in mine, and I've loved having the two camera views to get the full context of everything they've been doing.
