While scouring the web for the best Black Friday deals, we had to call out Amazon's price drop on the Mashable mom-approved Birdbuddy Pro smart bird feeder. It makes a great gift for practically anyone in your life, and it's on sale for only $189 on Black Friday. That's $110 cheaper than usual, and according to our favorite price-tracking tool, it's the best price it's ever been.
More than your average bird feeder, the Birdbuddy Pro Solar features built-in sensors and an advanced HD+ camera to capture the feathered friends that visit your feeder in vibrant 5MP photos and 2K videos. It connects to an AI-powered birdwatching app that can identify bird species and even individual birds, so you'll know if the same cardinal or chickadee becomes a frequent flyer. It can also detect signs of illness and recognize any other animal visitors that may show up. The app will send alerts in real time when birds visit the feeder and highlight interesting facts about local species. While it doesn't require a subscription, there is one available that unlocks the ability to organize photo collections and share your photos with friends and family.

Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth bought one of these smart bird feeders for his mom last Christmas and noted that it was a hit. We regularly include it in gift guides, as it makes a great gift for family and friends of all ages. If you're at a loss for what to get someone on your list, the Birdbuddy could certainly be a contender — especially at its record-low Black Friday price.
