Amazon has slashed the price of a “great” gardening gadget that gets users in touch with nature and provides hours of entertainment.
The Netvue Birdfy bird feeder camera is currently on sale for £68 off for a limited time, reducing the price from £199.99 to £131.99. This special bird feeder has a removable roof design, making it easy to set up and refill with no wires. It comes equipped with a built-in camera and motion sensor that sends live footage straight to your phone, allowing you to get an up-close and personal look at visitors to your garden in real time.
Birdfy automatically records bird videos and notifies you via the app when birds visit. Features like night vision and two-way audio let you hear bird calls and deter unwanted visitors. You can share videos with friends and family through the app and take photos from the clips, making it a must-have for your garden that’s raved about by families and nature lovers alike.
One shopper raved in a five-star review: “Overall a great product. Super easy to set up and secure with the various mounting hardware provided. The image could be clearer but it does what it’s supposed to. My son and I have had a ton of fun with it and it’s great for encouraging him to become interested in wildlife at an early age.”
Another user raved: “It’s a great way to get closer to nature. I love the short video clips available in the app, which you can save and edit or take still images. Easy to set up and use, it notifies you when motion is detected, which is quite a distraction. It’s really great to be able to see our little feathered friends in the garden up close. It’s fantastic. Highly recommend!”
A third reviewer commented: “My husband bought me this bird feeder as a Christmas gift and I’m so pleased. It’s always special to see the birds feeding but seeing them up close with your phone camera is so special. You get notifications so you never miss a bird feeding. If you love birds then this feeder is perfect. The picture quality is in a class of its own. Definitely 5 stars.”
Another wrote: “Such a lovely addition to the garden. The birds love it and so does my family. Easy to assemble. Just remember to fully charge the camera before setting it up in the garden. The camera can be shared so friends and family can have access too. The photos are super clear and it also takes videos. You can set the app to notify you when there’s movement. Highly recommended!”
The bird feeder has an overall rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars so far, based on 100 reviews from Amazon shoppers, though one person complained that the app notifications were “inconsistent” and a few were disappointed that the solar panel for the camera is sold separately. Despite this, 79% of customers gave it a perfect five stars, with a further 9% giving it four stars.
The Netvue Birdfy’s current Amazon sale makes it significantly cheaper than its rival Bird Buddy, which is on sale for £299.99 in John Lewis – in fact, TechRadar’s review of the best bird feeder cameras saw Birdfy beat out Bird Buddy to take the number one spot. However, if you’re looking for a more affordable option to get into birdwatching, Amazon is currently offering the Bozily Smart Bird Feeder Camera for £59.49 in a Lightning Deal, although it currently has just 12 reviews from shoppers.
