This world-first bird feeder cam with 360-degree view sees all in 6K, and I can't wait to try it in my backyard

• Birdfy unveiled three new bird feeder cameras at CES 2026
• Chief among them was the Feeder Vista, a world-first 360-degree model
• Birdfy Ornisense was also debuted, adding natural language interaction to Birdfy's app

We're still wrapping up our CES 2026 coverage, such was the breadth of tech on display, and I just had to put the spotlight on Birdfy's new range of bird feeder cameras revealed at last week's show in Las Vegas.

As someone who has reviewed their fair share of the best bird feeder cameras, I must say that the new Birdfy Feeder Vista looks like the new model to beat for immersive views of backyard birdlife.

It's a world-first 360-degree bird feeder camera, designed to be placed freestanding in a backyard, that delivers 6K video with slow motion recording up to 120fps, plus 14MP stills.

Birdfy also unveiled Bath Pro and Hum Pro feeder cameras, plus Birdfy Ornisense, the latter of which it describes as the "world’s first LLM-powered birdwatching AI", improving Birdfy's app with natural language interactions.

While rival Birdbuddy added the ability to identify birds by their song with the new and affordable 2 Mini also at CES, for me it's Birdfy's new bird feeder cam that I'm most intrigued by.

The ultimate bird feeder camera experience?

Like any of the best 360 cameras from the likes of Insta360, the Birdfy Feeder Vista features twin ultra-wide angle lenses to cover off the full 360-degree view, and users can choose between a 360-degree image, or a single lens ultra-wide image (which would presumably be between 2K and 3K).

An unimpeded view necessitates an entirely new design, which has ultimately resulted in Birdfy addressing a common headache with standard bird feeder cams – keeping seed fresh and free from contamination.

Traditional bird feeder cams utilize a gravity-based seed compartment surrounding the camera, with seed potentially piled up dormant for some time, whereas Birdfy's has a new bottom-up air pump system.

Bird feed is kept within an airtight antibacterial container, and then delivers seed to the top mounted feeding tray. Users can control how much feed is released via Birdfy's app.

The feeder is also equipped with precision weight sensors which trigger the camera to capture feathered visitors, rather than traditional motion sensors which are liable to capture random movement.

And Birdfy's app has been improved with Birdfy Ornisense, an LLM named Joy that encourages natural language interaction. For example, you can ask Joy questions about any of your feathered visitors such as "is this bird fat?", or hone down finding specific videos such as recorded territorial fights, plus the reasoning behind bird identification.

Given the design, Birdfy's new feeder needs to be positioned where it can enjoy a 360-degree view rather than being attached to a tree. However, with a bottom-up seed container, the perch is out in bright light which should return the best possible image quality.

My first impressions are that the Birdfy Feeder Vista looks like the new bird feeder camera to beat, even if I'm unsure how (or if) it can utilize continuous solar power, and I'll be getting a sample in for testing as soon as possible, when I will further unpack what this innovative device is capable of.

There's no pricing on sales start date information yet, but there's a notify when available page at the Birdfy website.
