Great product, works just as described! I was so happy with my first feeder from BIRDFY I bought another one from them. Camera works great and birds love the feeder. I would recommend buying the feeder with lifetime AI and solar powered. Multiple options for installation surfaces is very helpful and are included. Camera works great and can have multiple phones connected. Holds up fine in winter. Works fine with night vision and has a siren to scare away unwanted visitors (squirrels, etc).

Great birdfeeder with cool camera option on solar

We love the BIRDFY a lot! Many cool features like: easy setup; works well with WiFi and app; great solar panel keeps the camera charged on 99-100%; there is option to have microSD card inside; big capacity for the birds food; camera is awesome; we are feeding dozens of birds daily :) Two moments I'd improve: add some stabilizer (lag) underneath to have the whole feeder more stable when larger birds sit on it; add Bird Seed Guard as the part of the default set - really necessary to keep seeds inside.

A Must-Have for Bird Lovers!

This camera is a game-changer for bird enthusiasts. The image quality is truly impressive, and the AI bird recognition feature is super fun! I also love that it’s self-sustaining with its own power source, which is a big plus.
While the installation took a bit of patience, it wasn’t too difficult to manage. Setting up the app was simple, though I had to try four times before my phone and the camera connected smoothly to my WiFi. But once everything was up and running, it worked like a charm!
I even shared access with a couple of family members so they could join in on the bird-watching fun, and they absolutely loved it. The camera is mounted on a tree in my backyard, facing the house, and it looks adorable—even when there are no birds around!
Although the price is on the higher side, I highly recommend this to any bird lover. It’s a delightful way to enjoy nature and share the experience with others!

Wonderful bird cam! Set up was simple and the Birdfy app is easy to navigate. The quality of the camera is exceptional, both day and night. AI correctly identified my first visitor as a house sparrow. I like having the solar panel so I don't have to worry about charging it. I was able to share the camera with my father using the app and that is a great feature. I'm really happy with this bird cam and look forward to seeing more birds.

Fun Way to View Wildlife

This was very easy to set up, I did so in minutes. It includes several options for mounting, I choose to strap it to a tree. The app is user-friendly and the camera is impressive with a wide angle. It's very easy to fill with seed and is made of a sturdy plastic. A big drawback for me is that it is not squirrel proof in any way. I'm going to need to get creative because the seed is in a tray and it's too easy for other critters to access, including a racoon. I like the way the app notifies me when there is activity and have enjoyed watching wildlife from afar. The app gives the option to turn on a light, has a siren sound to scare away unwanted feeders and even a mic. It is easy to take a screenshot and record from the app as well.

We love this birdfeeder! The camera is good quality and the AI identification works quite well. The solar panel is also great, we never need to worry about charging it. We've learned so much about the different birds in our area. We like it so much we have bought it for family members as well, now we enjoy sharing the birds that come to visit!

Birdfy - Smart Wild Bird Feeder

This bird feeder is a very worthwhile purchase for any bird watcher. This is a second attempt at a feeder with a camera. The brand that was purchased before Birdfy was a cheaper off-brand version and the software alone stunk. Birdfy is worth it for the software. I love how you can watch your own videos or videos of other users. A squirrel deterrent had to be purchased separately, as well as a wider perch. The first setup didn't have the squirrel barrier and it was set up too close to the fence so the squirrels were often in the feeder. Once the feeder was set up on a pole without anything around it and a squirrel barrier at the bottom, we haven't had any issues since. The camera has nice clarity. It was easy to set up. I would purchase this item again and I would recommend it to my family.

I already have the birdfy camera which I love. So when I got this birdfy feeder I was so excited to see how it preformed. I love how clear the photos and videos are. This feeder camera combo is amazing! It came with plenty of options for hanging it as well as the solar panel. Easy to set up took only a few minutes to add to the app. The solar panel is a great add on holds the charge even in colder weather. So much easier then taking the feeder down to charge everytime! All of their products have been amazing. Love that birdfy lets us share with other people too!

Setup instructions were clear and simple. It took about 20 minutes from assembly and mounting to capturing my first visiting bird. I used the supplied clamps to attach it to my existing bird feeder pole. The images are super clear and the AI bird identifier is a real game changer. The included solar panel provides continuous viewing without the need to remove and recharge the battery.

A Delightful and Entertaining Gadget

What a great idea! I ordered this as a gift for my parents and they love it! It was easy to install and when I misunderstood how to get the camera hooked up, they had real people providing quick customer service via chat. (Tip: download the Birdify app and install it and connect it all to your primary phone or iPad BEFORE you hang it. :) The app and camera connection is very secure using a QR code on the side of the camera and then a QR code displayed on your phone/tablet. It's nice to know that it would be very difficult for someone else to somehow gain access to your camera. My parent are delighted by the interface and the AI bird identification. They keep sending me screenshots. It feels like the best gift we've given them in years. Highly recommend.

This is our second Birdfy feeder and we love it. Easy setup in 5 minutes all done through the app. It took a few days for the birds to find it, but we added a slice of orange and it did the trick. AI does a great job of identifying the birds and we are able to filter notifications based on species. If you enjoy bird watching this product is a great way to attract birds.

I have been looking for something to keep my cats entertained and when I stumbled upon this i had to get it right away! I was very impressed at the many options to instal, and ended up using the metal zip tye type things on the patio. I love that i did not actually have to drill any holes! However, when i evidently move, there are handy peices of paper you can line up on your deck that show you exactly where to drill! This birdfeeder keeps my cats and me entertained and the app has become something i constantly check while I am at work! I also love the solar pannel and was suprised at how easy it was to instal!

I’ve been looking for a smart bird feeder and this one has everything I wanted! Super easy to set up, the camera is high quality, and it has a great app. It took the birds a few days to adapt to having this feeder around but after they did, I’ve been enjoying watching them feed on the camera! I’d absolutely recommend this smart feeder to anyone who enjoys bird watching.

When I purchased this I didn’t expect very much. The BirdFy was on sale and I had rewards I needed to use so I bought it. In short I am VERY impressed and happy after three weeks installed. Installation and setup were excellent, the iPhone app is easy to use and well thought out. I know it may seem odd, but I was stunned by the quality of the mounting hardware. I’ve always believed that it’s the little things that matter, this products covers it all. As a matter of fact, I purchased a second BirdFy for my granddaughter that’s arriving tomorrow. 5 Stars

I love this thing. It’s super easy to assemble and comes with multiple different mounting options from screws to included straps to attach to trees or poles. The included solar charging panel makes it even better. I never have to worry about removing a battery pack to charge. The app is very user friendly and camera quality is better than expected.I can’t wait to check out my visitors on the camera!

Overall, this is a nice bird feeder and the camera is high quality. Getting the wifi set up and scanning the QR code on the side of the camera was tricky since the camera is screwed into the feeder making it difficult to access. I wanted to use the included tree strap to attach this feeder to a post on my pergola, as I previously did with my Birdfy bamboo feeder. You can see from the picture that the weight from the feeder makes it hang down at an angle. Looking at pictures for the product on Best Buy's product description, it looks like some versions have an additional piece of plastic on the sides that make tree/post mounting work better, but mine does not have this attached plastic on the sides. I decided to put the feeder on a table in my backyard instead which is fine for now. Hoping to figure out a better solution.

I’ve been very happy with this feeder. I even bought one for my mom. I also purchased the hummingbird feeder. It’s nice seeing the variety of birds that have been visiting and there have been some surprises such as a beautiful woodpecker. The ability to share devices across households has been a great addition to share experiences with my mother. The species identification has been wonderful and keeps me from missing rare visitors as opposed to my regulars.

The feeder is super east to get set up and getting it to connect to the app isn’t bad at all. As someone who isn’t a seasoned bird watcher, the fact that it will tell me what type of bird is there is super cool, and I love that you can see other videos from other peoples cameras in the app too!
