Birdfy’s smart bird feeder is down to its best-ever price for Mother’s Day

From craft machines to smart calendars, a number of unique gifts are already on sale in the run-up to Mother’s Day on May 10. Birdfy smart feeders are another discounted option to consider, especially the new Metal Bird Feeder 2 (4K)which is on sale for $259.99 ($50 off). If you’re looking to spend less, you can also get the base product Bird feeder for just $99.99 ($100 off) at Amazon or Birdfy, with the latter retailer offering a free botanical gift bag and greeting card.

Birdfy’s standard bird feeder uses a 1080p camera with a 155-degree field of view and color night vision to capture birds in clear detail as they stop. It then sends real-time alerts to the Birdfy mobile app for Android and iOS, where you can watch live streams or browse recorded clips whether you’re at home or away. Birdfy also saves 20-second clips to the cloud for free for up to 30 days, so you can review old footage or share your new sightings with friends later.

The app also includes a handful of AI-powered features, which are free for one week, after which they require a premium subscription to Birdfy ($4.99 per month or $69.99 for lifetime access). The tools allow you to identify more than 6,000 bird species, share fun facts, and receive daily highlights and monthly summaries. You can also set alerts for specific bird species, just in case you’re trying to capture that elusive summer tanager or the occasional gray flycatcher that passes by.

Plus, the Feeder is relatively easy to install and maintain, considering it comes with a pop-up roof and all the mounting hardware you need to attach it to a pole, wall, or tree. It offers an IP65 weatherproof rating and has a large 50-ounce seed container, so you don’t need to refill it as often as some other models. It also runs on a 5,200 mAh rechargeable battery that can last up to three months, or indefinitely with the optional solar panel, which starts at $29.99.

If you’re willing to spend more, the higher-end Birdfy Feeder Metal 2 (4K) goes even further with a sharper 4K camera and a more durable metal design. It also comes with a built-in solar cell and AI bird recognition, so you don’t need to pay extra for a subscription. It is also one of the first models to support Birdfy’s upcoming OrniSense advanced AI system, which will provide additional information about visiting birds, including health information and details such as gender.
