Buying Options
If a bird visits a bird feeder and no one is there to see it, did it really happen? With the adorably modern Netvue Birdfy Feeder, our pick for best smart birdfeeder, the answer is yes. It not only sends a phone notification when an avian visitor drops by, it identifies the species. The 1080p videos and photos have a wide, 135-degree viewing angle, allowing admirers to watch a bird up close (even in the dark, thanks to the camera’s color night vision) via their phone screen. Video remains stored in 20-second clips for up to 30 days in the cloud for free; birders can also opt for local storage using a microSD card or upgrade to 30-second clips by subscribing to a Birdfy basic plan for $2 per month or $20 per year.
