I enjoy making space for all sorts of wildlife in my garden, but I've never been much of a bird-watcher. Maybe this wireless Birdfy Feeder Cam from Netvue could help to get me started in the hobby! It connects to my WiFi network and then makes all the video clips of birds visiting the feeder available right on my cell phone. What's more, it uses artificial intelligence to offer guesses at the ID of the birds in the footage. The video quality is really decent, the hardware is solid, and I like the interface a lot! I can launch the app at any time for a live view of the camera. You can even opt for notifications. Here's a direct link for the product on Amazon: amzn.to/3qT89ZV
BTW, the supplier's manual has it right to suggest a minimum of 2.2m high installation - and even properly converts that to over 7ft. I have no idea what I was thinking when I put it up in the 5ft range.
I'm reviewing this product because it was provided free for evaluation by the supplier, but they haven't paid me any fee or asked for any control over the contents of the review.

I would be wonderful if when a squirrel attempted to eat out of the feeder it would initiate a loud scary sound to chase away the squirrels. 🍂🍁💚🙃

The audible alarm system is to scare away the squirrels. I'm sure the capability to speak to it is also for the squirrels or other critters.

I've used bird feeders in the past & ultimately took them down. Even in your video, you see birds picking & choosing their choice of food and tossing out of the feeder what they don't want. This makes quite a mess on the ground, which brings in the mice, as well as other non desirable birds which chase away the very birds I would prefer. I believe I'll stick with selecting flowers for pollination, trees with berries for the birds & bird baths . Have a great weekend 🍒

This is a good idea for a feeder. We have a feeder mounted to the kitchen window so we can watch up close and I have taken pictures of birds and squirrels in the feeder. Of course I didn't think of something like this that could have been a business for me. Oh well there is still gardening to be done anyway. Cool vid Jason. Thanks.

I find giving in a little bit and leaving sunflower seeds on my fence rail with a couple peanuts every day is enough to redirect them off the feeder. I will say there’s only 3 squirrels who live on my block, so I may have it easy.

Looks like a great idea. I wonder if there is a way to connect with Google ID or something? I don't use those software, but definitely something to consider. I imagine you could attach a small nectar tube to attract humming birds as well. Obviously they repurposed the doorbell cam idea, but it really is a smart idea.

Hi, I hope you did eventually find a suitable place for your camera-bird feeder. I am curious to know if you did find a way to prevent squirrels from hogging the feed? In my situation, I don't mind if the little creatures take a few meals now and then, but obviously I would prefer to have the birds at the camera the majority of the time.

Jason,That's really cool. We had white flys an other bugs,so we put out a couple feeders. Worked. So many birds come. Cardinals. Are a favorite. The morning doves clean up what ever falls out. Will this work without wi fi ( internet) ? Can you use just with phone service? Thanks for sharing. Different foods attract different birds. Try Expermenting with that. Also try hanging some with bird cakes. Your going to love this at your farm!

Thanks. The focal length on these doorbell cams is typically made for longer than the 10" or so of the feeder, so I was thinking that hanging a bird cake or suet a couple of feet away might improve the footage too.

I’d have squirrels, starling, grackles and no seed. Safflower seed however is a good seed to use to keep said critters at bay. I have to use poles with baffle to keep squirrels off feeders. I’m looking for a good trail cam to attach to the pole feeders though.
@FraserValleyRoseFarm
@FraserValleyRoseFarm Жыл бұрын
Nice. One thing I found with continued use of this feeder is that the focal length of the camera seems to get clearer images of birds further away - on branches 2-3 ft from the camera, rather than the ones that are up close at the seed. I've seen stand-alone wifi security cameras on Amazon (even with the solar panel) in the $75 range, so that might be an option worth looking at.

We have several trail cams on our property as we like to see the animals that pass through our property. My husband has bought several different cameras and so far our favorite is the Alpha Cam Premium Outdoor Trail Camera 30MP 1080P. Good quality video and night vision. Some of the critters we see are: deer, elk, racoons, coyotes, rabbits, black bear and bobcat. One night a Great Horned owl flew past the camera. Spotted a Long tail weasel once but he didn't walk in front of the camera. I have bird feeders, too. I don't use millet as most birds don't eat it and kick it out to the ground where the rodents feed on it. I also don't bother with Niger thistle as it goes bad quickly and the goldfinches won't eat it. Most birds like black oil sunflower seed. Easy-peasy way to feed the birds and can be bought in large bags. To keep the goldfinches, woodpeckers and flickers happy, I put fine sunflower seeds in a finch feeder. Suet is liked by most, especially in the winter. Then of course the Steller jays like peanuts as do the nuthatches, woodpeckers and chickadees. Bark butter is a favorite, too. I have a baffle on my pole, too. You can also buy squirrel proof feeders if they are a big problem. Western WA

Due to avian flue, which is a big problem in the Fraser Valley, it’s been advised to not stock feeders! They become major transmission points as birds congregate at them.

Thanks for adding this. I do keep an eye on bulletins from the CFIA (because of plant health advisories mainly, but they're the regulatory body in Canada for domestic livestock as well). APHIS (their US counterpart) and CFIA have only recommended that feeders are removed from areas open to domestic poultry - and then also offered some advice on proper sanitation (updated as of August 2022). Birds Canada and Cornell's AllAboutBirds.org offer similar advice and their research ( www.birdscanada.org/help-respond-to-the-avian-influenza-outbreak and www.allaboutbirds.org/news/avian-influenza-outbreak-should-you-take-down-your-bird-feeders/ ) although I'm sure they'd follow the APHIS and CFIA recommendations if those were to change. The news stories in BC seem to come from an advisory from the local SPCA spca.bc.ca/news/bc-spca-asks-public-to-remove-bird-feeders-due-to-avian-influenza-outbreak/ where their information seems to vary a bit from actual public health officials. In any case, it seem that they were only offering advice for the main part of the fall migration, and still (seem) to recommend feeding "in winter between October and March" further down in the article. Thanks for the heads up - it was worth a read!

A great gadget if i still live in the country. When i was a kid, we had lots of colourful birds coming out once in awhile from the nypa swamp. I think for it will be awesome if the software can be install in pc too. I just realized how great it is if it can be used in Biodiversity field trip. When i was a Biology student, i took an elective course from Forestry Dept called Intro to Biodiversity. We set traps for medium to small animals amd mist nets for birds. Mist net were nasty things. It was long, tall and durable but it was also so fine we could easily entangled in it. One wrong moves and if it get ripped, bye bye saving$. We caught lots of birds we never seen before including the smallest kingfisher in the world, a gorgeous red coloured trogon but the most shocking to the lecturers and other students was the tiny hawk my group caught. It was my turn to check the net with my group leader. Since i had took a compulsory Bio subject, Biodiversity of Vertebrates i was able to identify the hawk several metres away. My leader was a bit disbelieve when told him we got a hawk and needed to don gloves to release it. It was a "fun" half an hour process, between dodging the hawk's razor beaks and claws and making sure our buttons and zipper heads didn't get caught in the mist net. The only thing this gadget can't do is the tagging process we did to all the birds caught. But in terms of identifying birds in natural settings this sure beats the net. No problem if the AI can't do the identification, we bought field guide to help in that department.
