you’ve probably seen a smart bird feeder or know someone who has one. Best OverallThis cheery blue- or yellow-roofed feeder, from security company Netvue, is the first smart feeder WIRED tested, back in 2022. Not all bundles come with a solar panel, but you can buy it separately. Unlike other feeders, the solar panel is not built in and will have to be mounted and connected separately with the included 9.8-foot charging cable. There’s also no auxiliary solar panel to worry about, as it’s built into the roof.
