- Birdfy unveiled three new bird feeder cameras at CES 2026
- Chief among them was the Feeder Vista, a world-first 360-degree model
- Birdfy Ornisense was also debuted, adding natural language interaction to Birdfy's app
We're still wrapping up our CES 2026 coverage, showcasing the vast array of technology on display, and I felt compelled to highlight Birdfy's new range of bird feeder cameras revealed at last week's event in Las Vegas.
Having reviewed numerous bird feeder cameras, I can confidently say that the new Birdfy Feeder Vista 3 stands out as a top contender for immersive backyard birdwatching.
This groundbreaking 360-degree bird feeder camera is designed for freestanding placement in your garden, delivering stunning 6K video with slow-motion recording capabilities up to 120fps, along with 14MP still images.
Birdfy also introduced the Bath Pro and Hum Pro feeder cameras, alongside Birdfy Ornisense, touted as the "world’s first LLM-powered birdwatching AI," enhancing the app with natural language interactions.
While competitor Birdbuddy showcased the ability to identify birds by their songs with the new and affordable 2 Mini at CES, I find myself most intrigued by Birdfy's innovative bird feeder camera.
The ultimate bird feeder camera experience?
Similar to the best 360 cameras from brands like Insta360, the Birdfy Feeder Vista features dual ultra-wide-angle lenses, providing a complete 360-degree view. Users can opt for either a 360-degree image or a single ultra-wide image (likely between 2K and 3K).
This unimpeded view necessitates a fresh design, allowing Birdfy to tackle a common issue with traditional bird feeder cameras: keeping seeds fresh and uncontaminated.
Conventional bird feeder cameras use a gravity-based seed compartment, which can lead to seeds sitting idle for extended periods. In contrast, Birdfy employs a bottom-up air pump system.
Bird feed is stored in an airtight antibacterial container and dispensed to the top-mounted feeding tray. Users can control the amount of feed released via Birdfy's app.
The feeder is also equipped with precision weight sensors that trigger the camera to capture feathered visitors, rather than relying on traditional motion sensors that may capture irrelevant movements.
Additionally, Birdfy's app has been enhanced with Birdfy Ornisense, an LLM named Joy that facilitates natural language interactions. For instance, users can ask Joy questions about their feathered visitors, such as "is this bird fat?" or search for specific videos, like recorded territorial disputes, along with the reasoning behind bird identification.
Due to its design, Birdfy's new feeder must be positioned for optimal 360-degree viewing rather than attached to a tree. However, the bottom-up seed container allows the perch to be placed in bright light, ensuring the best possible image quality.
My initial impressions suggest that the Birdfy Feeder Vista is poised to be the leading bird feeder camera, although I remain curious about its solar power capabilities. I plan to test a sample as soon as possible to explore what this innovative device can truly offer.
While pricing and availability details are yet to be announced, you can find a notify when available page at the Birdfy website.
