"The Birdfy Hum Bloom is specifically designed to attract and record hummingbirds using a nectar bulb that mimics flowers they're naturally attracted to, while the Feeder Vista introduces a 360-degree camera and a bottom-up feeding system that doesn't obstruct views. Both feeders are expected to be available in Q2 of 2026 but pricing hasn't been announced. The Birdfy Hum Bloom is built around an 8MP camera that can capture 4K video of hummingbirds at 20fps."
"The Birdfy Feeder Vista features a pair of back-to-back cameras, similar to what you'll find on the DJI Osmo 360 and the Insta360 X5, that can capture 14MP panoramic stills or 6K 360-degree videos at 30fps. Dropping the resolution to 2K enables slow-motion video recording at up to 120fps, and you have the option of viewing just a single camera at a time for a wide-angle view."
"The feeder is designed to hang from a tree branch or other support and features a hydraulic system to pump nectar into the feeding bulb that dangles in front of the camera so a hovering hummingbird is always perfectly framed. Sensors track nectar levels and send alerts to the Birdy mobile app when a refill is needed, while an "ant moat" above the feeder helps prevent the nectar-loving insects from swarming the feeder."
Birdfy announced two camera-equipped smart feeders expected in Q2 2026 with pricing unannounced. The Hum Bloom targets hummingbirds with a nectar bulb that mimics flowers and an 8MP camera that captures 4K at 20fps and 1080p slow motion at 120fps. The Hum Bloom hangs from branches, uses a hydraulic pump to position a nectar-filled bulb in front of the camera, monitors nectar levels with sensors, and sends refill alerts to the Birdy app while an ant moat deters insects. The Feeder Vista uses back-to-back cameras for 14MP panoramas or 6K 360° video, supports 2K 120fps slow motion, and employs an air-powered piston to lift seeds from a sealed container below.
