Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.   An update from Bird Buddy…maker of a camera equipped smarter bird feeder.  The company hit Kickstarter last week  with both a smart hummingbird feeder and a smart bird bath….and within two hours raised a million dollars, ten times their goal.   CEO Franci Zidar says it uses the same high quality rugged outdoor camera for video and still images..that has won many fans for the original..

“It’s beautiful.  It is exciting.  I think we blew through our goal in the first ten minutes.  This shows the passion, the momentum that’s behind this beautiful hobby…which is backyard birding.  And I think we have a really fortunate place to be a brand in this place kind of crafting the future of that.”

You can find the campaign and order at a discount…and learn more about the original Smart Bird Feeder at www.mybirdbuddy.com.
