Amazon has huge Black Friday sale on Birdfy smart bird feeders (2025)

After spending Last year’s test 25 Smart bird feeders Of the 10 different brands, many impressed me, but none were as frequent and consistent as Birdfy’s. It was the first brand in the market to introduce bird identification with artificial intelligence, as well as the first to offer assistive products such as Smart nesting boxesBirdbaths (see below), and feeding bodies made of various materials such as wood or metal. Products still have the occasional glitch or connection issue, but all smart feeders do. Birdfys remain my favorite choice for gifts and personal use in my home due to their consistency and ease of use.

If you’re looking to buy one this year for yourself or a loved one, these are the best prices you’ll see, these are the most giftable models, and the most usable out of the box without a subscription. (Note that all Birdfy feeders operate on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only.)

For beginners

If you’ve never handled a smart bird feeder before, it can be intimidating. I know several people who got a smart bird feeder last year for the holidays, and still, in November 2025, have not taken it out of the box. Apparently they’re not alone, because now there’s a feeder specifically for the reluctant: the Rookie, which looks like a gravity pet feeder and comes together in three simple, tool-less pieces.

You still have to charge the 1080p camera (once a week, since this version doesn’t come with a solar panel) and calibrate it with the app, but that’s it — just place the camera on its little side stand, fill the seed hopper, We hang it on the wall Or pole with the included hardware, and you’re ready to go. Since there is only a side view, you will get a fair amount of rear shots of birds facing the other way, and note that you will definitely need to The location of this one is out of the way of squirrelsBecause it is very lightweight and the top can be removed easily.

An enduring classic

There are a ton of smart feeders on the market, none of which are perfect, but this long-time bestseller is the only one I constantly recommend For its combination of features, ease of use, application and price. There are options for solar panels and either subscription-based AI ($5 per month) or built-in, but Amazon’s deal is for the one that includes the option to subscribe via solar panels. The plate has to be mounted separately, but in my experience, it has successfully kept the camera charged even when it’s cloudy.

If you are concerned about squirrel damage

I haven’t tested this exact model yet, but I have tested several plastic feeders that squirrels chew on. If you’re interested in the original Birdfy but worried about squirrel damage, this is the product to get. It uses the same 1080p camera that you’ll find on the side BirdFi Pro 2 Duo. It also doesn’t require a subscription to recognize the AI, and it comes with built-in solar panels on the roof, so you won’t have to bring it to charge your camera’s battery. I’ve had a lot of luck with the Birdfy solar panels on other models staying charged even during cloudy seasons.

For the highest quality images and video

This is Birdfy’s flagship smart feeder, boasting the highest image quality of any of the brand’s feed cameras. I 2 Pro Duo testedWhich contains two cameras; This model only has one camera, but it’s the same main camera as the Duo, which I can attest to is great. (Although you’ll need to make sure it’s close to the router, because it’ll need more bandwidth than a traditional feed camera.) It has two lenses — one wide-angle and one portrait — the latter of which will track any landing bird and zoom in for a closer view. 2K video footage can also be played back in slow motion, and there’s a light to capture interesting events at night. This version does not require a subscription, and comes with a solar panel that must be installed separately.

A fun and new way to watch birds

If your giftee already has a smart bird feeder or doesn’t want to deal with the seed mess, why not gift her a smart bird bath? This one has already won CES 2026 Innovation AwardAnd, despite some early connectivity issues, I had a lot of fun testing it out this summer. I’ve caught visits from everything from birds, spiders, squirrels, and even a raccoon trying to steal your pump filter. (It worked in the end.) Note that the shower still requires some maintenance, other than refilling — because the tank is shallow, it’s susceptible to algae, and the pump tends to get clogged with larger debris like leaves. But I still highly recommend it as a A fun gift for any bird lover; Especially this version that comes with a matching stand and does not require a subscription to recognize the AI.

If you prefer no plastic

Most smart feeders are made of plastic, and for good reason: it’s durable, resists weather damage, and is easy to clean. But no one will argue that it looks great in your garden. I haven’t tested this exact feeder, but I have tested a similar feeder, and I was surprised at how thin and natural it looked on my machine Feeder pole. This camera features the same 1080p camera as our favorite original Birdfy, and also comes with a solar panel to keep the camera charged (must be installed separately). There’s also a built-in AI ID, so you won’t need a subscription.
