- Birdfy introduced three new bird feeder cameras at CES 2026
- Chief among them was the Feeder Vista, the world’s first 360-degree model.
- Birdfy also debuted Ornisense, adding natural language interaction to the Birdfy app.
We’re still finishing up our coverage of CES 2026, such was the breadth of technology on display, and I just had to highlight Birdfy’s new range of bird feeder cameras revealed at last week’s show in Las Vegas.
As someone who has reviewed a fair amount of the best bird feeder cameras, I have to say that the new Birdfy Feeder Vista looks like the new model to beat when it comes to immersive views of backyard birdlife.
It is the world’s first 360-degree bird feeder camera, designed to stand independently in a backyard, offering 6K video with slow-motion recording at up to 120fps, plus 14MP stills.
Birdfy also introduced the Bath Pro and Hum Pro feeding cameras, as well as Birdfy Ornisense, the latter of which it describes as the “world’s first LLM-powered birdwatching AI,” which enhances the Birdfy app with natural language interactions.
While rival Birdbuddy added the ability to identify birds by their song with the new, affordable 2 Mini also at CES, what intrigues me most is Birdfy’s new bird feeding camera.
Best experience with a bird feeder camera?
Like any of the best 360 cameras from the likes of Insta360, the Birdfy Feeder Vista features two ultra-wide-angle lenses to cover the full 360-degree view, and users can choose between a 360-degree image or a single-lens ultra-wide-angle image (which would presumably be between 2K and 3K).
An unobstructed view requires a completely new design, which has finally resulted in Birdfy solving a common headache with standard bird feeder cams: keeping seeds fresh and free of contamination.
Traditional bird feeder chambers use a gravity-based seed compartment surrounding the chamber, with seeds potentially stacked dormant for some time, while Birdfy has a new bottom-up air pump system.
The bird food is stored inside an airtight antibacterial container and then delivers the seeds to the top-mounted feeding tray. Users can control the amount of feed released through the Birdfy app.
The feeder is also equipped with precision weight sensors that trigger the camera to capture feathered visitors, rather than traditional motion sensors that tend to capture random movements.
And the Birdfy app has been enhanced with Birdfy Ornisense, an LLM called Joy that encourages natural language interaction. For example, you can ask Joy questions about any of her feathered visitors, such as “is this bird fat?”, or search for specific videos, such as recorded territorial fights, as well as the reasoning behind bird identification.
Given the design, Birdfy’s new feeder should be placed where you can enjoy a 360-degree view rather than being attached to a tree. However, with a bottom-up seed container, the perch is exposed to bright light, which should return the best possible image quality.
My first impressions are that the Birdfy Feeder Vista looks like the new bird feeder camera to beat, even if I’m not sure how (or if) it can use continuous solar power, and I’ll be receiving a sample to try out ASAP when I look more into what this innovative device is capable of.
There’s no pricing information yet on the sales start date, but there is a notification page when it becomes available on Birdfy’s website.
