Birdfy smart bird feeders discounted for Mother's Day
Australian consumers can now access smart birding technology with significant price reductions ahead of the holiday weekend.
Birdfy has launched a promotional sale on its range of smart bird feeders ahead of Mother's Day, offering substantial discounts on its midrange and premium models. The campaign runs until May 10, providing an opportunity for consumers to acquire devices that combine high-resolution imaging with artificial intelligence capabilities at reduced rates.
The midrange Birdfy Feeder is now available for $99.99, representing a $100 reduction from its standard price. This model features a 1080p camera with a 155-degree field of view and colour night vision, allowing users to capture detailed footage of visiting avian species. Purchases made directly from the manufacturer include a free botanical gift bag and a greeting card, adding value to the entry-level offering.
For those seeking higher fidelity, the Birdfy Feeder Metal 2 (4K) is priced at $259.99, a $50 discount off the regular cost. This premium unit distinguishes itself by including AI bird recognition and 4K recording by default, eliminating the need for a paid subscription to access these core features. The device also incorporates a built-in solar cell to support its power requirements.
The standard Birdfy Feeder relies on a rechargeable battery with a capacity of 5,200mAh, which can last up to three months. Users may opt for an optional solar panel starting at $29.99 to extend operational time indefinitely. The Metal 2 model similarly supports solar power, ensuring the devices remain functional in various weather conditions with an IP65 weather-resistant rating.
Advanced AI capabilities on the standard model, such as species identification and fun facts, require a premium subscription of $4.99 per month or $69.99 for lifetime access following a one-week free trial. In contrast, the Metal 2 model supports the forthcoming OrniSense AI system, which aims to provide health insights and gender identification, though these specific advanced outputs are not yet fully available on the current hardware.
The product range also encompasses the Birdfy Bath Pro, a solar-powered smart birdbath featuring a dual-lens camera system, and the Birdfy Feeder Rookie, an entry-level option with a 1080p camera. Both models offer real-time alerts and live feeds, catering to different budget levels and technical requirements for bird enthusiasts.
