Join our journey to discover
how high you can soar!
In 2020, we asked the world if they wanted to be closer to nature. Their response was a resounding: YES! Our premiere Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaign broke records and we haven’t slowed down since. We’ve even been fortunate enough to receive international recognition – including being awarded the status of CES Honoree.
In truth, Bird Buddy is so much more than a smart bird feeder. It’s about building a brand and a company which can help people meaningfully connect with nature. While we strive to deliver a unique, top-of-the-line product, our main goal is advocating for nature and (re)introducing people to it in a 21st century way.

culture

In addition to being an effective team, we strive to highlight everyone’s individuality. Our flexible workplace is designed to give every team member the space and resources to succeed. When you feel empowered to deliver your best, everyone wins!
