Guess what my husband just ordered for my birthday coming up? I can’t wait to get it. Thank you for the review. I would never have known about this until seeing your product review!
Hope you enjoy it!
Lovely to see your North American birds. Just setting up my Birdfy here in Oxfordshire UK.
I just received this as a gift for Mother's Day!!! Totally excited about!! I set it out two days ago anxiously waiting... however my birds are still going to the other feeders so I guess I have to wait for all the other feeders to empty out! LOL 😆
I found setup to be super easy! However that may have been because I already had the app-as I have two security cameras from Netvue.
Thank you so much for this review and your garden is absolutely fantabulistic!!!!
Blessings!!
I think it will be fun to watch what comes through the garden.
Yes!
Good morning Jenny 🌺 How beautiful to see the beautiful birds and the squirrel in this beautiful camera control .Have awonderful day. 🌷🌺🌷
Thanks you too!
Have you ever thought about a wrap around porch to join your two porches? That would look amazing.
Interesting thought!
This is fantastic. I have never heard of it before. I love seeing all those birds. I hope if you get another interesting variety you can quick incorporate that into your videos. Thank you so much
We will! Thanks!
Thanks for the video. I received one as a gift. I don't see an SD card included. Is it already in the camera? Did you have to purchase one?
I did have to purchase one. They're relatively inexpensive, I order mine on Amazon but they're widely available in stores like Walmart, Target, etc.
Got one. Thanks so much! Looking forward to the excitement.
I’ve been wanting one for my mom. What are your thoughts about rain and snow in zone 7 with this product?
It’s designed as an outdoor product so I think it will be just fine!
Great video! Question…has this attracted any rats? 😬 I’ve noticed leaving feed out can do that
What a wonderful product 🥰
Yes I love it!
What a cool product Jenny! Thanks for such a detailed review and tutorial!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for reviewing. Looks like a great gift!!
I love mine! Definitely recommend it!
Thans Jenny! I just love this.
Thanks! I love it too!
How do you see the footage? Does it connect to your phone or do you have to download it from the camera outside?
There is an app on your phone that lets you see the video. It also notifies you when the camera is active.
@@HarmonyHillsHomeandGarden perfect!
Nice information 😃👍 at 4:36 a second squirrel 🐿️🐿️ alert at the feeder to the right,in the background 😂❤
You are right!
My cousin has one and loves it.
Awesome!
Thanks for a great overview.
Thank you!
Love the birdfeeder camera! We have trail cameras on our property and they capture great images of elk, deer, coyotes and raccoons that pass through. Even got a shot of a Great Horned owl one night. I have bird feeders, too, and have a suggestion. Many birds don't eat the millet seed and will kick it out of the feeder onto the ground. That food will attract mice and rats in addition to the squirrels. Black oil sunflower seed is a favorite for many birds and there will be less waste. Bark Butter Bits (suet) are a great addition for winter bird feeding and would fit well in your new feeder.
Same - we have one at our cottage and see bears, wolves, foxes, deer. We also have a driveway alarm. Last weekend, the alarm went off continuously for a bit. When we checked it, the screen was shattered. Shortly after that, the trail cam screen was shattered too. The video showed a blue jay pecking it to death!!!
Awesome, thanks for the tips!!!!
Oh my! those blue jays are bossy!!!!!
Great gift idea!
It really is!
Did you get it to pair with your Bluetooth.
It pairs via wifi, not bluetooth. Mine is installed probably at the limit of a strong wifi signal... it woudl be better if I moved it closer, but it does ok where it is.
Thanks for the review! 🙌 While I appreciate the insights, I've had quite a different experience with Birdfy. Spent $500+, faced lens issues, got DOA replacements, and now told it's 'too expensive' for a 3rd replacement. NO WORKING feeders after 4 months. Ghosted by support, my trust is shattered. They're not honoring the warranty, and they told me to go to Amazon for a refund, but the return period expired during the 4 months I was waiting on a functional replacement. Two months of a working feeder isn't worth it. Just sharing my experience. #NetvueBirdfeederIssues #CustomerServiceFail #DOAWarrantyReplacements
So sorry to hear that!
1:48 did anyone else gasp when she put the box cover on the stove burner?
Thanks for the tips on positioning. I'm going to try this in the Philippines later this year.
??? I put stuff on my stove burners all the time!
I keep looking for tutorials but the only one I can find shows different things on my phone- can't figure out to change all the settings. Set up easy....but actually using it and customizing how to identify and store photos is hard
How is the feeder attached to post?
It comes with a bracket that you screw onto post or fence. But there’s different ways to attach it to poles too. They give you a long Velcro strap(for a tree I guess) but also different clamps. That’s what I used. Threaded the clamp thru spots on back of feeder onto a 1” pole. Worked great. I love mine.
what bird seed do you recommend?
I believe any birdseed would do - whatever attracts the kinds of birds you have in your area. Good luck!
How do you make it swivel
Hi. I just got my birdify and I don’t know how to recall the recorded “visits” from our bird friends. Help please
What I do is take the micro SD card out of the device and plug it in to my laptop (via a converter) and handle the files there. There is also a way to view them over wifi through the app and download them, but I don't recall the instructions, sorry.
What internet service do you use
We have Comcast cable internet.
How do you get the birdfeeder off the bracket to clean it and I need to charge the camera and I cannot get it off it says to pull a button but there is no button to pull and I’m afraid I’m going to break it
I haven't done that yet, so... ???
You didn’t mention in your “easy” setup the issues with SD card. You didn’t even show placing one in the camera. Our setup was not easy. The camera kept saying the SD card needs to be formatted. Followed all online instructions and it would get to 94% formatted then gave a message “failed to format.” No online help helped.. still waiting feedback to remedy this.
Another issue was scanning the QR code for setup. It is placed on the bottom of the camera and the camera came already installed in the feeder. What a nightmare to get to it. Not happy with this product’s setup.
I didn't have any of those problems, I'm sorry to hear that you did. I don't use an SD card in mine. I have it connected to the wifi and it stores its videos to the cloud. Good luck, hope you can resolve the problems quickly and easily.
It was quite a bit more complicated to set up. You don't go through the app at all. No mention of taking photos of the QR code, etc. Did you not have to do any of that? I was so excited to receive mine, but after three days of connectivity, it will no longer connect. The manual is not helpful at all (hence my journey to the web to find help...and finding this video). Just a few realities for those who might be considering this camera. It isn't quite as easy as it appears on this video.
I'm sorry you had trouble doing it. I honestly didn't have any trouble, but I hope you find the help you need.
Any one know why my bird cam when setting up a different device deletes one or both of my families 2 other devices? It’s very annoying sometimes I can get 2 to work never the third without out this problem.
Sorry to hear... no, I don't know. I'd contact support from Netvue to get help.
Try using hot pepper bird feed from WBU. Squirrels won’t eat it. We’ve been using the no mess feed for several years. Happy Birding!
Thanks for the info.
Oh please don't do that. Just feed the squirrels on purpose. They're hungry and freezing outside. I saw my squirrel eating and wiping his eyes because he got hot pepper in his eyes. It's cruel. He's still going to be hungry and needs to eat.
Ever since that day when I saw he was suffering from hot pepper in his eyes, I've never bought that product again.
Just make them a peanut butter sandwich and cut it into tiny pieces. And feed cheap bird food on the ground for the squirrels, or wherever they show up the most.
Be kind. ♥️ Treat animals the way that you would want to be treated. 🍀🍀🍀
Where do you watch it
There is an app for your phone.
I can’t find the app for it.
It's called "Netvue", and the subtitle is "Home Security Done Smart".
JUST GOT MINE, THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE ABOUT IT IS THAT YOU CANNOT VIEW THE CAMERA ON YOUR PC...ONLY A CELL PHONE, WHICH I HATE TO USE TO BEGIN WITH...
That's true, only on the phone.
Anyone know if you can use any other security cam apps besides the Netvue app to monitor the camera?
I don't know, but I don't think so. Unless one is more computer savvy than me.
I love this!
Thanks! Me too.
-looks like you just got a haircut. looks cute
Thanks!
Does it identify the birds for you?
Yes, the AI version does.
Any deer 🦌?
Nope! :-)
225.00??? That’s crazy
It's in line with other similar cameras from other companies.
If you want a good trail camera that costs less, check out the Alpha Cam Premium Hunting Trail camera 30MP 1080p. Waterproof, fast trigger. Usually $100 but I just saw it on Amazon for $89.99. It's the best one we've bought so far.
this video quality looks 480 at best unfortunately
Wouldn't that be great for someone bedridden to watch
Absolutely! I wish I'd known about this a few years ago. Mom was in a wheelchair and couldn't tend her feeders out on the deck ...
Oh yes!
Everyone please don't use hot pepper.

I have tried the hot pepper, and it really doesn't work to keep the squirrels off of the feeders, at least in my area. We are a 100+ year old neighborhood with 100+ year old fully mature trees (40, 50, even 75 or more feet tall). Our squirrel population is HUGE!!!!! I have just come to accept that the squirrels are a part of our garden, and to try to avoid them on the feeders is impossible.
Their ai program is a joke. It thinks that squirrels are brown headed cowbirds, eastern bluebirds, ducks, robins, or sparrows.
That's true, it's not great.
How do you make it swivel
