Ahead of CES 2026 getting underway in early January, Birdfy has announced two new camera-equipped smart bird feeders that can identify and capture visitors in slow motion. 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. Capturing 120fps slo-mo videos requires a drop in resolution to 1080P, but with hummingbirds flapping their wings around 50 to 80 times per second while hovering, you shouldn’t expect footage that will rival a National Geographic documentary.

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.

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.

Unlike most smart birdfeeders that hide a gravity-powered seed dispenser behind their cameras, the Feeder Vista employs a unique air-powered piston to push seeds up into the feeder area from a sealed container below. This approach ensures the container is always out of frame in 360-degree images and videos, and it allows you to remotely control “feeding speed and portion size” using the Birdfy mobile app.

Both of the new feeders are capable of identifying and providing details about visiting birds using Birdfy’s LLM-powered OrniSense AI. While the Hum Bloom relies on traditional motion sensing to detect hummingbirds in flight, the Feeder Vista uses a new weight sensor that helps ensure only birds that land to feed are recorded. Animals, cars, or people moving through the frame are ignored. Knowing how much a bird weighs also allows the AI to estimate its size which improves its accuracy when identifying it.
