Bird Buddy Explore

  • Updated

We're thrilled to introduce our new feature, Bird Buddy Explore which lets you experience birdwatching on a global scale! 🕊️🌎
         

Bird Buddy is setting up a unique network of feeders around the world, enabling you to receive postcards from them in your Inbox. Whether it's the US or any other part of the world, we're on a mission to make bird watching more accessible than ever before.

How It Works

Start the journey with a single click. To access BB Explore click on the icon of the Earth () on the main navigation bar in our app.

                                                   

Feeder Slots

  • You will have three slots available for feeder connections.
  • Free users: 1 permanent slot and 2 timed slots (72-hour access).
  • Pro users: 2 permanent slots and 1 timed slot (72-hour access).
  • Remove connections anytime to free up a slot and select new feeders that you want to receive postcards from.
  • Keep in mind that you cannot access the feeder's live feed, but you will start receiving postcards from these locations just like you would from your own Bird Buddy feeder.

Feeder Network

  • Click on the "Connect to a feeder" or "Connect for 72h" button for the slot you want to fill.
  • Now you can browse among various feeders all over the world simply by swiping left.
         
                                               
  • Information on each available remote smart feeder includes its location and local time, diversity rating, and feeder type (Classic, Hummingbird, and Bird Bath).

  • Select "Connect to feeder" at the bottom of the screen to add that feeder to your feeder slot.

    Availability status of remote feeders in Bird Buddy Explore:

    • Unlocked: Available to all users
    • Pro: Available for Bird Buddy Pro users only
    • Referral: Available to unlock by inviting friends to start using our app.

    New remote feeder locations will be teased with a countdown, allowing you to set reminders, so you never miss an exciting new opportunity to explore a new region and discover more birds.

Referral System

A dedicated screen will let you unlock new feeders by inviting your friends to join the Bird Buddy Explore experience. Click on the "Invite" button on top of the Bird Buddy Explore welcome screen:

                                               

  • Now you can copy and share your unique code with your family and friends who don't use our app yet and unlock new feeders for yourself!

  • Ensure invited friends use the provided unique code during sign-up for successful referrals. Please note that only users who don't already have a Bird Buddy account can use this referral code once they download the app and create an account.

                                                 

    Notifications you may receive about Bird Buddy Explore:

    • New feeders being added to the network
    • Expiration of feeder connections
