I have several of the Birdfy bird feeders, and have been happy with all of them. I've had this feeder for about a week now. It was extremely easy to set up for me - the quickest setup of all my feeders. I charged the camera overnight, plugged it into the one-piece bird feeder, and was ready to hang it up. The built-in solar panel has been working to keep the camera charged so far, even through the consistent rainy weather we've had since I put the feeder up. I'm not sure yet if I like having the built-in solar panel as opposed to an external solar panel that can be moved around like my other two feeders. We have a lot of birds in our backyard, and the change to the new feeder hasn't slowed that down: House Finches, Black-Capped Chickadees, Red-Breasted Nuthatches, and Northern Flickers. I think the camera is doing well for me so far, as well as the extension perch. I do like the built in seed guard. The plastic one that I have for my first plastic Birdfy feeder could be popped off easily. My Northern Flicker loves to shovel tons of seed out of my Bamboo feeder to search for the sunflower seeds, so I think this built in seed guard will make that a little more difficult :) The size of the feeder was a concern for me, as my other two seem to have a larger area for perching. But I've seen my House Finch pairs easily both fit and eat, and my Northern Flickers have no problem settling in.

I purchased the Birdfy Espresso Feeder from Sam’s Club a couple of weeks ago, and it has been an absolute joy. The all-metal espresso finish looks beautiful in the yard and feels incredibly durable compared to plastic feeders. The camera quality is crystal clear, and the AI bird recognition is surprisingly accurate and fun to watch. I love getting notifications on my phone whenever a new bird visits. The built-in solar panel keeps the battery fully charged, so I haven't had to worry about taking it down to plug it in. Setting it up on my 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi was straightforward. It's a fantastic value for the price at Sam's Club—highly recommend!

The feeder is both attractive and solid, well constructed. An easy to flip lid opens the large capacity bin for the seed is nice. The AI bird identification includes male or female id for many species which adds to my entertainment. High quality video includes night vision, capturing full color video of a pre-dawn visit from a Northern cardinal, including the sounds of chirps and pecking at seed. One feature I REALLY LIKE, is the removable seed tray. It has individual feeding holes, which prevents blue jays and others from sweeping their beaks through the seed, throwing it onto the ground while looking for that special seed, NICE!!!

I love the Birdfy feeders! I also have 2 other different ones. The metal espresso one seems to be very well made and I really like the look of it. My favorite thing about it is that it not only has a solar panel but that it's built in and not separate.

The metal bird feeder is simply beautiful. I own several different types of bird feeders and none of them look as good as this one. I have an active squirrel population in my neighborhood, and I usually keep the bird feeders on a pole. However, this one just looks so good I mounted it to the fence post and was surprised that I have not had an issue with any squirrels. Not sure if this is because of the metal design or the layout of the feeder but it works. This feeder really does look good on a post or even attached to a garage or similar structure. The feeder is well designed, and you can feel the quality of the materials when you unbox it. What surprised me was how large the seed hold was. You can put a lot more seed than I expected in this which means less frequent trips to refill the bird feeder which I appreciated. The box included all the accessories you may need for a variety of installation types and additional instructions and advice on placement. The AI and app are fantastic and make taking snapshots of the bird feeder activity easy as well as tracking specific bird species that frequent the bird feeder. The AI identification did a great job. With everything including solar built into the bird feeder it really is easy to maintain once you have it set up. Great bird feeder especially for those looking for a nicer looking setup that does not detract from your current landscaping.

The feeder is the best one in our collection. It was extremely easy to setup. My wife appreciates the hidden wiring and integrated solar panel. The materials and design is much more conducive to the environment we live in. I do wish there were solar panels on both sides of the room to help placement more flexible, but so far it has been a non-issue.

I truly love this feeder! It is very sturdy, solidly built, and looks great. Setup with the Birdfy app was simple and took under 5 minutes. The camera and video quality are top-notch. Daytime footage is clear, and the AI bird identification has been very accurate with our backyard visitors. We currently have it temporarily mounted on our deck railing, and we are already getting a steady stream of cardinals and house finches who land on the perch without any hesitation. The built-in solar panel does an excellent job keeping the battery charged to 100% with about 6 hours of direct sunlight. The seed capacity is also generous—it holds about 48 ounces of seed, so it lasts a while before needing a refill. The roof latch for filling has a slightly unique design (pull forward slightly, then pull forward and down), but it opens up easily once you get the hang of it. The only hiccup during assembly was tightening down the perch. The box does not include any small spanners or tools for those bolts, so you will need your own tools handy. We ended up using a 9/32" wrench inside the seed tray with pliers on the other side for one set, and a 5/16" wrench with pliers for another set, and had to tighten down firmly to keep the perch completely secure. Including a dedicated wrench in the hardware pack would make assembly much smoother. Despite the assembly quirk, the quality, battery performance, and crisp video make this an easy 5 stars. Highly recommended for any backyard bird lover!

Love the solar panel and built-in camera! The metal design feels sturdy, and I love being able to see which birds visit right from my phone. It's a fun addition to the backyard and makes birdwatching so much easier.

This is a beautiful feeder. Love the look and how durable it is. So easy to set up and get installed. I have had other Birdfy feeders and I am not as impressed with the camera view on this. It is a wider view and I seem to not get a great view of the birds. Overall a great purchase and Birdfy customer service is fantastic!

Bought this feeder to replace my original Birdfy, and have had it a few weeks now. Overall it's great, though there are definitely some issues that I've also seen others mention. The good: product is very well built, sturdy, looks great, and is sleek. It's also easy to fill, has a large hopper capacity, and comes with the seed guard standard. Image quality is also very good. The bad: the biggest issue is definitely related to connectivity. This is absolutely a design oversight as the camera does not have an external antenna like it should, and being housed in a metal frame basically blocks the wifi signal entirely from the camera. You essentially have to have the feeder/camera facing the wifi source (as this allows for an unobstructed path), and even then the connection is weaker than when the camera is outside the housing. Having the feeder as close as possible to the source is therefore also advisable. Otherwise, the unit seems easy enough to clean (though all the clear plastic window panes will accumulate dust/grime and are probably harder to get to). I also live close to the ocean (though not on the beach), so time will tell if the metal is able to withstand the salty air here for too long (though, to Birdfy's credit, they do explicitly mention this unit is NOT meant for locations close to the ocean for this reason). Overall it's a great feeder if you're able to accommodate its connection needs.
