By [Bird Feeder Camera Guide Editorial Team](https://birdfeedercameraguide.com/about/) · Updated November 12, 2026 · [How we score](https://birdfeedercameraguide.com/how-we-research/) Our score comes from manufacturer specs, professional reviews and owner reports. We haven't tested this feeder ourselves; where a test result appears, we name the outlet. ## The verdict Birdfy's hummingbird feeder is the easy recommendation for most hummingbird yards: free ID, a big battery with solar, and an ant moat. The new 2K version costs the same as the older 1080p one, so buy the 2K. If you want the sharpest slow-motion wingbeats, the Humbirdy 4K is the specialist. ### What we like - Free unlimited AI ID; Birdfy says its model knows 150+ hummingbird species - 2K video and dual-band Wi-Fi on the newest version - 9,000 mAh battery plus a 3 W solar panel - Built-in ant moat, leak-resistant design and a cleaning brush in the box ### Watch out for - Only 14 fl oz of nectar (11 fl oz recommended fill) - The 2K version was newly listed with no Amazon ratings yet on Nov 12, 2026 - Hummingbirds visit seasonally across most of the US - Nectar feeders need cleaning every couple of days in heat ## Score breakdown Camera & capture 7.8 AI ID & app 8.2 Build, power & squirrels 7.8 Value incl. subscription 7.9 No subscription needed for automatic bird ID.

The Birdfy Smart Hummingbird Feeder is the easy recommendation for most hummingbird yards. The newest version records 2K video with a 130° view, connects over 2.4 or 5 GHz Wi-Fi, runs on a 9,000 mAh battery with a 3 W solar panel in the box, and includes an ant moat and free, unlimited species ID. Amazon showed it at $149.99 on November 12, 2026, the same price as the older 1080p version. We haven’t tested it ourselves. The 2K listing was new with no ratings yet; the 1080p version had 244. This review is based on Birdfy’s listings and membership terms. ## Who it’s for Anyone who mainly wants to watch hummingbirds and learn which species visit, without a subscription. If you want the sharpest slow-motion wingbeats, the [Humbirdy 4K](https://birdfeedercameraguide.com/bird-feeders/humbirdy-4k/) is the specialist pick. ## Which version to buy Birdfy sells two listings at the same price: | Version | Camera | Wi-Fi | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Birdfy Hum 2K](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HJYVL42M?tag=birdfeedercameraguide.com-20) | 2K, 130° diagonal | 2.4 + 5 GHz | Snap-lock lid, leak-resistant, newly listed | | [Birdfy Hum (1080p)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DQXSVNZL?tag=birdfeedercameraguide.com-20) | 1080p | 2.4 GHz | Side-swivel ports for two birds, 244 ratings | At equal prices, the 2K model’s sharper camera and dual-band Wi-Fi make it our pick. The older version’s longer review history is its only advantage. ## Camera and ID The 2K version records 2304 × 1296 video. Hummingbirds are tiny and fast, so resolution and a close, wide view matter more than on a seed feeder. Visits trigger automatic recording and a phone alert, and clips upload to the cloud with 30-day history on the free plan. Species ID is free and unlimited, part of Birdfy’s Basic plan. In most of the eastern US you’ll mainly see Ruby-throated Hummingbirds; the West has far more variety, from Anna’s to Rufous and Black-chinned. Our [bird attractor tool](https://birdfeedercameraguide.com/tools/bird-attractor/#food=nectar) shows which species to expect by region and season. ## Power and build The 9,000 mAh battery is large for a hummingbird feeder, and the included 3 W panel tops it up. The camera is IP66-rated. The 14 fl oz reservoir (11 fl oz recommended) is small, but hummingbird nectar should be changed often anyway. A cleaning brush comes in the box, and the ant moat is built in, so you don’t need an [add-on moat](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CX9291YT?tag=birdfeedercameraguide.com-20). Hummingbird feeders hang, so put it where you can reach it every few days for cleaning, in view of a window but not in harsh afternoon sun, which spoils nectar faster. Our [placement guide](https://birdfeedercameraguide.com/posts/where-to-place-a-bird-feeder-camera/) and [placement checker](https://birdfeedercameraguide.com/tools/placement-checker/#model=birdfy-hum) cover Wi-Fi and sun. ## Nectar and cleaning Use one part white sugar to four parts water and skip red dye, per Project FeederWatch and Audubon. Plain sugar costs far less than [ready-to-mix nectar](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JTI4HIK?tag=birdfeedercameraguide.com-20). Clean the feeder every couple of days in warm weather and whenever the nectar looks cloudy. ## When to put it out Hummingbirds are seasonal across most of the US. In the East, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds arrive in spring and leave in fall, so put nectar out by early April in the South and late April further north. On the Pacific Coast, Anna’s Hummingbirds stay all winter, so the feeder can run year-round there if you keep the nectar from freezing. Our [winter bird feeding guide](https://birdfeedercameraguide.com/posts/winter-bird-feeding-guide/) covers the cold months. ## What it costs over time ID is free, so the running cost is sugar. Compare it with other feeders in the [true cost calculator](https://birdfeedercameraguide.com/tools/true-cost-calculator/#model=birdfy-hum&years=3). ## Alternatives - **[Humbirdy 4K](https://birdfeedercameraguide.com/bird-feeders/humbirdy-4k/)**: 4K, 120 fps slow motion and close focus; a newer, smaller brand. - **[Birdfy Feeder 2](https://birdfeedercameraguide.com/bird-feeders/birdfy-feeder-2/)**: a seed feeder for year-round birds. ## The verdict Birdfy’s hummingbird feeder is the safe pick: free ID, a big battery with solar and a built-in ant moat.

Yes. Birdfy's free Basic plan includes unlimited automatic species ID. Birdfy's listing for the earlier version says its AI recognizes over 150 hummingbird species. ### What's the difference between the two Birdfy hummingbird feeder listings? The newer version records 2K (2304 × 1296) video with a 130° view, supports 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi and has a snap-lock lid. The earlier version is 1080p and 2.4 GHz. Both cost $149.99 on Amazon on November 12, 2026, so the 2K model is the better buy. ### How much nectar does it hold? The reservoir holds up to 14 fl oz, with 11 fl oz recommended. Smaller fills also mean fresher nectar, which matters because FeederWatch recommends cleaning nectar feeders every couple of days in warm weather. ### Does it keep ants and bees away? Birdfy includes a built-in ant moat and describes the ports as bee-resistant. Fill the moat with water, not chemicals. ### What should I fill it with? One part plain white sugar to four parts water, cooled, with no red dye. That's the recipe Project FeederWatch and Audubon recommend. ## Sources - [amazon.com (B0HJYVL42M)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HJYVL42M?tag=birdfeedercameraguide.com-20) - [amazon.com (B0DQXSVNZL)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DQXSVNZL?tag=birdfeedercameraguide.com-20) - [support.birdfy.com](https://support.birdfy.com/help/membership/) Not sold yet? ## Alternatives to the Birdfy Hum 2K ![Humbirdy 4K Hummingbird Feeder with Camera](https://birdfeedercameraguide.com/_astro/humbirdy-4k.DKtcgSUZ_2dgznW.webp) ### [Humbirdy 4K Hummingbird Feeder with Camera](https://birdfeedercameraguide.com/bird-feeders/humbirdy-4k/) 8.1 - 4K - Free AI ID - Solar panel included - Hummingbird Hummingbird lovers who want the crispest close-ups and slow-motion wingbeats with no subscription. $$$$ Mid-range Price tier: Mid-range today's price on Amazon [Check price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FWK482GZ?tag=birdfeedercameraguide.com-20)[Read the full review](https://birdfeedercameraguide.com/bird-feeders/humbirdy-4k/) ![Perky-Pet Solar Smart Bird Feeder with Camera (3.2 L)](https://birdfeedercameraguide.com/_astro/perky-pet-solar-camera-feeder.BWwM85Qh_Z2ecfgY.webp) ### [Perky-Pet Solar Smart Bird Feeder with Camera (3.2 L)](https://birdfeedercameraguide.com/bird-feeders/perky-pet-solar-camera-feeder/) 6.5 - 1080p - No AI ID - Solar panel included - Squirrel-proof Squirrel wars: the only feeder here with a mechanical, weight-activated squirrel guard, from a classic feeder brand. $$$$ Mid-range Price tier: Mid-range today's price on Amazon [Check price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FRB1761H?tag=birdfeedercameraguide.com-20)[Read the full review](https://birdfeedercameraguide.com/bird-feeders/perky-pet-solar-camera-feeder/) ![Birdbuddy Nook Solar Smart Bird Feeder](https://birdfeedercameraguide.com/_astro/birdbuddy-nook-solar.B-26TWKh_Z2iYIOv.webp) ### [Birdbuddy Nook Solar Smart Bird Feeder](https://birdfeedercameraguide.com/bird-feeders/birdbuddy-nook-solar/) 8.1 - 2K - AI ID needs a plan - Built-in solar roof Balconies, patios and small yards, or anyone who wants Bird Buddy's newest camera for less. $$$$ Mid-range Price tier: Mid-range today's price on Amazon [Check price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GXZN4WT1?tag=birdfeedercameraguide.com-20)[Read the full review](https://birdfeedercameraguide.com/bird-feeders/birdbuddy-nook-solar/) [Compare all 16 feeders →](https://birdfeedercameraguide.com/bird-feeders/) ## Helpful guides [Top picks ### The 8 Best Bird Feeder Cameras of 2026: Smart Feeders Ranked by Camera, AI ID and True Cost The best bird feeder cameras of 2026, ranked: Birdfy Metal 2 4K, Bird Buddy Pro Solar, Birdfy Feeder 2 Pro and more, with subscription costs and solar notes.
