Here are some bird photos from my Bird Buddy Gallery. The Bird Buddy is an AI bird feeder that my son was involved with bringing to market.
The first three photos are Gila Woodpeckers.



The Bird Buddy arrived last week and I’ve been having a blast with it. I am learning about the species of birds who hang out in our backyard. The app on my phone IDs the birds, gives me information about them and has recordings of the their songs and calls.
I decided not to cook this Thanksgiving, but we will go out for a simple meal. We’ve hosted Thanksgiving for most of the past 30 years and I don’t feel like doing the shopping, the prep, the cooking, inviting guests and cleaning up.
So instead of turkey, I’m sharing my Thanksgiving birds in my yard with my fellow bloggers and friends.

Happy Thanksgiving! What are your plans for Thanksgiving?
Beautiful photos, and gorgeous birds.
Thank you! The camera is quite good in the bird feeder.
You’re welcome.
👍🏼
Fun pics! Enjoy not cooking, that sounds perfect😃 I’m staying in starting the holiday movie binge!
Thanks! I cooked oxtail soup and lemon lush for company. It took me two days. We entertained Sunday and I wasn’t ready to do it again. A movie binge sounds like a good idea!
That is a really great assortment of birds! Our feeder gets Blue Jays, Cardinals, Sparrows and Finches. No where near the birds you get! I think the Blue Jays keep many away as they are very mean birds.
Blue jays are mean. Our bully bird is the Gila woodpecker. I’m waiting for a cardinal. We have them here but they aren’t as common as the other birds.
Happy Thanksgiving. Congrats to your son for inventing the bird buddy. It sounds very interesting. Enjoy your day away from cooking!
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m enjoying my day so far 😊 My son helped bring the Bird Buddy to the market, but didn’t invent it. I’m not sure who did. But I love it!
Love the shots. I can see them saying “hey, no turkey in there, right. Good.” Ha, ha. great shots.
Ha! I love the bird feeder. It’s like a Ring camera for the birds. Or, they’re taking selfies!
I love this! I don’t know if I’ve ever gone to show my husband photos from a blog before but that is exactly what I just did. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving! There’s nothing better than birds taking selfies 🙂
Agreed! 🐦
👍🏼
That is just too cool.
Thank you! I love how the solar panel keeps it charged up.
Wow, my cats would love The Bird Buddy!
Our cat loves to stare out the window at the birds. When I play the bird calls on the phone app, the cat goes nuts. She looks for the bird in the house to stalk.
Wow, you have quite an assortment of birds! Love it. We bought my mom and dad something like this within the past year. Not sure if it’s the same brand or not. Happy Thanksgiving to you too. We went to my brother’s today, about 1/3 of the whole clan was able to make it. It was perfect. I”m still full 6 hours later. 🙂
I see brands out for sale like the Bird Buddy. It’s so much fun and I’m learning a lot about the birds in my area. It sounds like you had a nice meal and time with family.
I am in love with this bird feeder. Now I know where my mourning doves went…Arizona. 🤣
We do have a ton of them. And they like to dominate the bird buddy!
That is so cool. I’m going to check this out! We have a ton of birds in our neighborhood. I think that would be fun to know what they are and have images of them. The Bird Buddy! Love it, hugs, C
The Bird Buddy is helping me identify birds by sound too. I feel more connected to my new desert home. ☺️
This is amazing! And kudos to you about doing what feels good for you on Thanksgiving 🍗
Thank you!
