I just purchased this. I purchased the one that has one camera and the solar panel. I also ordered the suet ball holder. I’m pretty excited! I live in NE Oklahoma by a Spring River. We have all kinds of birds and wildlife here and I do my best to provide feed for the birds. Like you, black sunflower seeds are always welcome, a little messy with the hulls but they are cheap and I can feed those everyday. I like to make my suet in the winter. I use beef tallow and only in the cold weather. I add different things to it but the woodpeckers like it straight up tallow. Anyway, if I have questions about the feeder are you willing to help. I don’t see anything that I can’t do but just in case, may I hope on here and ask you something about the feeder?
Hi, that sounds great I’m sure you’ll have fun with it! Suet balls always prove to be popular in my garden too, although I don’t own the holder yet so I should definitely get one and yes of course! If you have any questions then feel free to ask and I’ll try to answer them as best as I can. Birdfy also has a great support team, so I’m sure they’d be happy to help if I miss your comment ☺️ enjoy your new feeder!
Hi, Thanks for a great video, I've just got this model and would like to pole mount as you did, could you tell me please where you obtained the substantial pole you used to mount the birdfeeder? Thanks, John Knight
Hi John! Yes the pole is a washing line post that I got from Wickes. It came in two parts so I only used the bottom half for the feeder. It’s similar to this one amzn.to/41T7viW if that helps ☺️
Great question and something I should have mentioned in the video. I’m using the bottom half of a washing line pole that I bought from Wickes. I chose this because they’re a bit more substantial whilst also being relatively inexpensive. Birdfy do sell their own pole and I’m sure there are plenty online but I would definitely go for a slightly more heavy duty pole. Having two cameras makes it relatively heavy for a feeder and you’ll definitely want it to be nice and stable so the footage looks better. Alternatively it can also be wall mounted and therefore you could even use a fence post. Hope that helps! Any more questions then let me know 😊
Hi, I have a rather complex request this time. The feeder was a gift for my wife who uses an IPad at it's basic level, the complexity of the Bird Feeder software is something she would be the first to admit could not understand and would be asking me for advice. I use an Android phone and am not familiar with IPads. Is it at all possible for two seemingly incompatible systems to operate the Bird Feeder between them, how would you register which system would be used or could both do it, could you switch between systems? At the moment we have done absolutely nothing at all, just in case we couldn't undo it, we daren't even download the App. Sorry this is a difficult one but I'd appreciate any help you could give. Thanks, John Knight
Hi John, that’s no problem, I’ll help as best as I can. To start with, yes the camera can be accessed from different devices and I see no reason why the app wouldn’t support cross platform access. You can find lost of information about sharing the camera access here: support.netvue.com/hc/en-us/articles/16785937522201-Guest-Slots-Sharing-Device-With-Family-Friends As for setting up the device, it’s very simple and should only take a minute. I’d recommend setting up the camera on the phone or tablet that you will use the most, this way if you take longer sharing the device you’ll have instant access from the device you would rather use first. Unfortunately I don’t use Android but as far as I’m aware the app should function the same regardless. Hope this helps!
Hi, great question but no the Birdfy 2 cameras do not support SD cards. Since cloud storage already provides sufficient storage space, the need for SD cards has diminished, so this feature was optimized away in the iteration. Hope that helps ☺️
Yes, sorry about that. It was very simple to install though, simply plug in and go. There was nothing else required, but if you have any questions then feel free to ask ☺️
Thank you for sharing! We are so happy that you love the Birdfy Feeder 2 duo. Wishing you a delightful bird-watching experience! ✨
You shorted me a y cord on my order and no one is addressing the problem!
Thinking about getting one. Great video!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it! Let me know how you get on if you decide to go for it - I definitely recommend 😊
Would probably recommend getting something to cover that solar usb c cable from rain as I'm seeing white particles forming already at 7:43
Great idea. Always open to recommendations if you have anything you use which works well!
@@OnlyNature I use electrical tape 😅

Glad you enjoyed it! Do you have a favourite out of the visitors so far? 🐦⬛

@@OnlyNature Hi, Thanks very much for the info, it's great to find that the items are readily available locally, Thanks again, John
What kind of pole did you use?
What kind of poles will hold these feeders?

Does this feeder(cameras plural) take an sd card and what is the maximum memory size
Hi, great question but no the Birdfy 2 cameras do not support SD cards. Since cloud storage already provides sufficient storage space, the need for SD cards has diminished, so this feature was optimized away in the iteration. Hope that helps ☺️
You went through the double camera/solar panel a little to quickly.
Yes, sorry about that. It was very simple to install though, simply plug in and go. There was nothing else required, but if you have any questions then feel free to ask ☺️
