- 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, such was the breadth of technology on display, I just had to highlight Birdfy’s new range of bird feeder cameras unveiled at last week’s show in Las Vegas.
As someone who has reviewed their fair share of the best bird feeder cameras, I have to say that the new Birdfy Feeder Vista 3 looks like the new model to beat for an immersive view of backyard bird life.
It’s a world-first 360-degree bird feeder camera, designed to be placed free-standing in a backyard, delivering 6K video with slow-motion recording up to 120fps, plus 14MP stills.
Birdfy also unveiled Bath Pro and Hum Pro feeder cameras, plus Birdfy Ornisense, the latter of which it describes as “the world’s first LLM-powered birdwatching AI,” enhancing Birdfy’s app with natural language interactions.
While rival Birdbuddy added the ability to identify birds by their song with the new and affordable 2 Mini also at CES, for me it’s Birdfy’s new bird feeder camera that I’m most intrigued by.
The ultimate bird feeder camera experience?
Like any of the best 360 cameras from e.g. Insta360, the Birdfy Feeder Vista has two ultra-wide-angle lenses to cover the entire 360-degree view, and users can choose between a 360-degree image or a single-lens ultra-wide image (which will presumably be between 2K and 3K).
An unobstructed view necessitated a completely new design, which ultimately resulted in Birdfy solving a common headache with standard bird feeders – keeping seeds fresh and free from contamination.
Traditional bird feeders use a gravity-based seed chamber that surrounds the camera, where seed potentially accumulates dormant for some time, while Birdfy’s has a new bottom-up air pump system.
Bird feed is stored in an airtight anti-bacterial container and then delivers seed to the top-mounted feed tray. Users can control how much feed is released via Birdfy’s app.
The feeder is also equipped with precision weight sensors, which trigger the camera to capture feathered visitors, rather than traditional motion sensors, which tend to pick up random movements.
And Birdfy’s app has been enhanced with Birdfy Ornisense, an LLM named Joy that encourages natural language interaction. For example, you can ask Joy questions about any of your feathered visitors, such as “is this bird fat?”, or hone in on finding specific videos, such as recorded territorial fights, plus the reasoning behind bird identification.
Because of the design, Birdfy’s new feeder needs to be placed where it can enjoy a 360-degree view rather than being attached to a tree. But with a bottom-up seed container, the perch is out in bright light, which should give the best possible image quality.
My first impression is that the Birdfy Feeder Vista looks like the new bird feeder camera to beat, although I’m unsure how (or if) it can harness continuous solar power, and I’ll be getting a sample in for testing as soon as I can to unpack further what this innovative device is capable of.
There are no prices on sale start date information yet, but there is a notification when it is available on the Birdfy website.
