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 is the specialist pick.
Which version to buy
Birdfy sells two listings at the same price:
| Version | Camera | Wi-Fi | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Birdfy Hum 2K | 2K, 130° diagonal | 2.4 + 5 GHz | Snap-lock lid, leak-resistant, newly listed |
| Birdfy Hum (1080p) | 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 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.
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 and placement checker 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. 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 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.
Alternatives
- Humbirdy 4K: 4K, 120 fps slow motion and close focus; a newer, smaller brand.
- 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. Buy the 2K version. Check the Birdfy Hum 2K on Amazon, or compare every option in our best hummingbird feeder cameras.
Accessories and supplies for the Birdfy Hum 2K
Official and universal add-ons sold on Amazon: poles and baffles, solar, storage and the nectar you'll keep buying. Check the listing confirms your exact model before you buy.
- Mounting109-inch heavy-duty bird feeder pole kit with 5-prong baseUniversal fit
Every feeder here needs a pole for the most squirrel-resistant setup; none include one. Adjustable height and a hook suit hanging Bird Buddy and Perky-Pet feeders. Birdfy and Kiwibit feeders clamp to a pole with their own bracket; check the pole diameter against the bracket.
- Add-onAnt moats for hummingbird feeders, 6 oz (4-pack)Compatible, third-party
A water-filled moat above a nectar feeder stops ants reaching the ports. The Birdfy Hum and Humbirdy 4K already have built-in moats; Bird Buddy recommends a water moat (not a chemical one) for its hummingbird feeder.
- NectarNectar Collector Ready-to-Mix Hummingbird Nectar, no dyes (3-pack, makes 192 oz)Compatible, third-party
Dye-free, preservative-free nectar mix for hummingbird camera feeders. Plain white sugar mixed 1:4 with water is exactly what FeederWatch and Audubon recommend, and it costs far less. Never add red dye.
Compatibility checked November 2026. More in our bird feeder camera accessories guide.
