Wonder thinks you should know your backyard like the back of your hand.
The Telugu Archivesnew company from the creators of the popular Bird Buddy smart bird feeder introduced an AI-powered nature camera called the Petal at CES' Unveiled media event Sunday night. Inspired by community feedback, the device is designed to get users on a "first-name basis" with their local nature, said Franci Zidar, CEO of Wonder and co-founder of Bird Buddy.
The Petal is a colorful cup-shaped camera that can be installed a couple different ways: You can wrap its bendable stem around an object (like a branch or a fencepost), or attach it to the side of a planter using its universal clip. It's designed to blend in well with its natural surroundings either way, a notion that's hammered home by its optional solar panel attachment, which is shaped like leaf. As a complete set, it looks a lot like a minimalist, bionic flower.

Zidar told Mashable that its built-in "Nature Intelligence" AI gets involved to identify any outliers — say, a dried-up leaf, an abnormal number of aphids, or the chirps of freshly hatched bluebird chicks — balancing actionable care alerts with personalized "check out this cool thing!" insights.

Zidar said the Petal will launch on Kickstarter sometime this spring and retail for less than $100, with shipping targeted for early 2026. The release of Wonder Blocks is still to be determined.
