Birdfy Solar Powered Nest Smart Bird House with Camera

This is my fourth Birdfy product, and the second one ordered from Sam's Club. First, it arrived earlier than expected, so kudos to the club. The Nest itself came in the beautiful and precise packaging I've come to expect from Birdfy, with separately boxed and labeled components that corresponded to the assembly instructions. I sent an email inquiry about hanging on a tree, and received a prompt response. The Nest connected easily to my Birdfy app, and I was able to share it with my family users. Because the camera is INSIDE the nest, we realized we could hang it away from my other feeders in the backyard, and hopefully attract the right occupant. Both the nest and its solar panel were installed on our mid-sized maple tree in the front. We purchased some carabiner clips and another hose clamp for ease of removal, imitating the set-up provided for the solar panel. After a couple of restarts (we wondered whether it was too far from the the house wi-fi) to reconnect, it's been working well. The top-mounted camera shows a clear view from above, and switched to night-view lighting automatically. It's holding its charge, but I may have to move the solar panel to a more external branch to catch more sunlight - TBD. I just hope we're not too late in the season (it's May 10) to entice an occupant. It's beautifully constructed with clean lines, and looks quite natural on our tree. I look forward to watching all the stages of an avian family!!

The Birdfy Nest won me over the moment I opened the box. The build feels solid in a way you notice right away. Nothing flimsy. Nothing fussy. It goes together quick and smooth. I had it set up before my coffee cooled. It feels like the folks who made it actually thought about real people using it in the real world. I’ve got a little bird who decided my security camera was his new condo, so I hung this Nest right in front of him hoping he’d migrate over. Felt like the right kind of invitation. I already own the Birdfy feeder and the Birdfy bird bath. Both run like champs day after day. So I had a good feeling about this one. The Nest fits right in with the same level of care and craftsmanship. It feels steady. It feels dependable. You can tell it’s made to last. There’s a kind of quiet confidence in the way it sits there ready for the birds to move in. I snapped a couple photos of the little guy on my camera and the setup I rigged for him, just to show how this whole thing came together. If you’re on the fence, let me say this plain. This thing is worth it. It’s easy. It’s sturdy. It does exactly what you hope it will do. And when you see that first little bird checking it out, you’ll feel that small spark of joy that tells you you made the right call.
