Quick Answer: Costco’s bird feeder lineup centers on the Evergreen Smart Solar Bird Feeder — a cedar-roofed feeder with a built-in 1080p WiFi camera and dual 3.5 lb seed compartments, listed around $109.99 on Costco.com — alongside cheap clearance-friendly picks like the Featherland Paradise 4 lb squirrel-resistant feeder (often under $10) and bulk Audubon Park seed by the 40 lb bag. The real catch isn’t the feeders themselves, it’s Costco’s model: a 5% non-member surcharge on Costco.com purchases, and warehouse pricing that swings hard between full price and clearance depending on the store.
Costco isn’t a birding specialty retailer, and its feeder aisle reflects that — a smaller, rotating selection rather than the wall of SKUs you’d find at a farm-supply or home-improvement chain. But two things make it worth a separate look: a genuinely tech-forward smart feeder, and a membership structure that changes the math on whether it’s worth buying there at all.
What Costco actually stocks
- Evergreen is the name-brand smart-feeder line Costco carries, not a house-brand knockoff — the same company behind the smart hummingbird feeder Costco also lists.
- Featherland Paradise, made by Caitec, covers the cheap end — small-capacity, squirrel-resistant feeders that show up frequently on Costco’s clearance/treasure-hunt cycle.
- Audubon Park Nature’s Blend is sold in genuine bulk (40 lb bags) through Costco Business Delivery, aimed at high-volume feeding rather than a single backyard feeder.
- Non-members can buy on Costco.com, but pay a 5% surcharge over the member price — worth comparing against a $65/year Gold Star membership if you shop there more than once.
- In-warehouse pricing varies by location and clearance timing far more than at a fixed-catalog retailer like Walmart or Target — the same smart feeder has been tracked from about $25 to $110 depending on where and when.
| Feeder | Type | Capacity | Price | Sold by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evergreen Smart Solar Bird Feeder | Solar, WiFi camera, cedar roof | 2x 3.5 lb | around $110 online (clearance as low as ~$25 in-warehouse) | Costco |
| Featherland Paradise Bird Feeder | Squirrel-resistant, budget | 4 lb | under $10, clearance as low as ~$4 | Costco |
| Audubon Park Nature's Blend Premium Wild Bird Food | Bulk mixed seed | 40 lb bag | bulk pricing via Costco Business Delivery | Costco Business Delivery |
Evergreen Smart Solar Bird Feeder with Camera
- Built around a Canadian FSC-certified red cedar hut-style roof, with a 1080p HD WiFi camera and 144-degree field of view for watching or recording visits in real time.
- Dual seed compartments each hold up to 3.5 lb, and a top-mounted solar panel keeps the camera charged, with a USB port for backup power.
- Includes a built-in alert feature meant to flag predators like squirrels — a feature you won't find on the site's other camera feeders at this price tier; see our best bird feeder camera guide for how it stacks up against Bird Buddy and Birdfy.
- Listed around $109.99 on Costco.com, but tracked as low as about $24.97 at individual warehouses during clearance — treat any in-store price as location-specific, not a fixed national number.

2. Featherland Paradise Bird Feeder — Best Budget / Clearance Pick
Featherland Paradise Bird Feeder, 4 lb Capacity
- Made by Caitec, a genuine pet/bird-supply manufacturer, not an unbranded import — a squirrel-resistant design at a 4 lb capacity.
- Typically listed under $10 new, but this is one of the SKUs that shows up repeatedly on Costco's in-warehouse clearance rotation, tracked as low as $3.97 at some locations.
- If you want a dependable squirrel-resistant feeder without hunting for clearance timing, our squirrel-proof bird feeder guide compares fixed-price options like Brome's Squirrel Buster line.
3. Audubon Park Nature’s Blend Premium Wild Bird Food, 40 lb — Best Bulk Seed
Audubon Park Nature's Blend Premium Wild Bird Food, 40 lb
- A genuine bulk option aimed at feeding multiple feeders or a high-traffic yard, sold through Costco's Business Delivery channel rather than the standard warehouse aisle.
- Same Audubon Park brand referenced elsewhere on the site's storage and bulk-seed coverage — see our best bulk bird seed guide for how it compares to other large-format mixes.
- Worth pairing with a proper storage container rather than the original bag; our bird seed storage container picks cover rodent- and moisture-proof options sized for a 40 lb bag.
The membership question
Costco.com will sell a bird feeder to a non-member — you’ll just pay 5% more than the listed member price. A Gold Star membership runs $65/year, so unless you expect to buy well over $1,300 worth of Costco.com merchandise across the year, paying the 5% surcharge on a single feeder order is the cheaper path. It only tips the other way if a feeder purchase is part of a much bigger Costco.com habit already.
Where to put it once you’ve bought it
If you want to compare Costco’s lineup against other big-box and farm-supply chains, see our bird feeders at Walmart, bird feeders at Home Depot, bird feeders at Lowe’s, bird feeders at Tractor Supply, bird feeders at Menards, and bird feeders at Target reviews. For a rundown of the manufacturers worth seeking out by name across any retailer, our best bird feeder brands guide is a good next stop.
The bottom line
Costco’s feeder selection is smaller than a dedicated farm-supply or home-improvement aisle, but the Evergreen Smart Solar Bird Feeder is a genuinely capable camera feeder at a competitive price when you catch it at the regular $109.99 rate — and an outright steal on clearance. The bigger factor for most shoppers is the membership math: the 5% non-member surcharge on Costco.com almost always beats paying $65 for a membership just to buy a feeder, unless you’re already a regular Costco.com shopper.
