January 9, 2025 – At the CES 2025, Wonder Company, the creators of the intelligent AI bird feeder Bird Buddy, unveiled two new AI-powered products: Petal and Wonder Blocks. These innovative devices are designed to assist consumers in embracing and enjoying nature more fully.
Unlike Bird Buddy, which specializes in capturing and identifying birds, Petal represents a new breed of bionic camera focused on documenting the natural wonders surrounding our homes.
Leveraging the AI technology pioneered in Bird Buddy—which was honored as one of Time Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2023—and integrating cutting-edge engineering, Petal is capable of photographing wildlife, allowing users to watch live streams.

Employing an advanced AI model dubbed “Nature Intelligence,” Petal interprets and records various natural phenomena and sounds, such as bird hatching, bee pollination, and butterfly wing flaps.
Dubbed as the “world’s first true nature camera” by the company, Petal boasts a flexible mount, an optional solar-powered roof, and a universal clip, enabling it to be placed in any outdoor setting.
This 4K, 12-megapixel camera utilizes an AI system to assist users in identifying plants and insects. Additionally, it features AI-powered voice interaction, providing valuable information about the activities captured by the camera, thereby aiding in garden management.
Complementing Petal, Wonder Blocks offers a convenient means of constructing spaces that attract natural elements, facilitating Petal’s capturing abilities. This modular system enables the creation of customized habitats and ecosystems for wildlife to thrive, including plant bases, seed trays, bee hotels, butterfly feeders, and insect hotels.
According to a press release, Petal and Wonder Blocks will be launched on Kickstarter in the spring of 2025. By combining these two products, consumers can transform their backyards into vibrant ecosystems teeming with reptiles, birds, and plants.
