Fell apart after just three (3) months
1 out of 5 stars
Fell apart after just three (3) months
Please note, the overall star rating for this product likely reflects the buyer's opinion shortly after setting up and using it. Rarely, do they come back to report how it fell apart months later.|[ 10/01/2024 - UPDATE ]|It's been only 3 months since we installed and my mother's Birdfy Bamboo Bird Feeder and I'm already back to update my 4 star rating to a 1 star rating.The bamboo that this bird feeder is constructed cannot withstand the rain and sun of the outdoors. After three (3) months of use, the bird feeder has faded, warped, cracked and is no longer due to the top to completely breaking off. Because the crack occurred along where it had been screwed in (the holes made by the screws likely weakening the bamboo former), there's no way to reattach it.Additionally, the door for the camera randomly split as seen one of the included photos just a few weeks after use until it cracked and broke off completely.A $300 bird feeder should not deteriorate to the point it can no longer be used in just 3 months. I feel awful I gifted my mom this junk and she feels awful that I wasted my money. I cannot in good faith recommend this bird feeder. Stick with the lower cost plastic options.|[ 06/02/2024 - ORIGINAL REVIEW ]|INTRODUCTION———————-I bought this bird feeder for my mom for Christmas in December. After much time deciding how and where she’d put it, she settled on using a pole in the backyard, with as much distant from the trees as she could to deter squirrels. So I also bought her a 5-prong pole & a baffle so when I visited a week and a half ago, we finally set it up.ASSEMBLY——————First, installation was a bit frustrating. There’s a set of instructions for the solar panel, another set for the camera, a set the mounting options, and another set for the bird feeder itself. It would have been nice they combined them into one booklet since it was a tad frustrating going from one set to another, or trying to find a specific set to reference during assembly.Assembly may have gone smoother had we not been incredibly confused about where the bird feed would empty into since the 2 feed compartments would have just emptied onto the ground. My mom eventually found a video on their website on how to clean the bird feeder and it mentions removing and cleaning the “metal mesh bottom”, which was missing from the box and was not mentioned on the list of included components. Since my mom isn’t very handy and wanted it installed before I left, we ended up buying a hanging bird feeder from Amazon that would arrive the next day that had a metal mesh bottom. I was able to cut it to size as a replacement, which has been working well.The pole, baffle and the mounting bird feeder and solar panel was straight forward and went smoothly.CAMERA QUALITY————————-The camera itself is “meh”. For the price, I’m a little disappointed since the pictures become very pixelated with the slightest zoom. But for day to day watching and entertainment, it does the job. I assume the other BIRDFY bird feeders use the same or similar camera and the extra cost is for the larger and bamboo feeder.CAMERA SETUP————————-Setting up the camera and the app was surprisingly smooth. I have a lot of experience setting up smart devices which can often be wonky during setup. I was pleasantly surprised about how easy it was.APP————As mentioned, connecting the camera to the app was a cinch. My mom can easily use it to check the charge, the videos and footage without instructions, so that says a lot (sorry mom!). Other than the initial setup, she hasn’t been prompted to buy or subscribe to anything, which I’m honestly surprised about. The best and my FAVORITE part of this camera and the app is that it lets you share the footage with anyone else who has the app installed. After I installed the app on my own phone and chose to add a shared device, it prompted me for a QR code which my mom’s phone could generate by the share camera option. My son also installed it so all 3 of us get to enjoy the bird feeder, despite 2 of us living an hour and a half away! I also absolute ADORE the stills it chooses for the “Moments” and included a few of my favorites in this review.USAGE—————At first, we didn’t get many birds but I guess it just took them a day to find it and tell their friends. Now, the bird feeder doesn’t go more than 5-10 minutes without a bird, starting at 7:30-8:00am until almost 8pm, with 200-300+ “Moments” a day. In the week and a half it’s been up, we get regular house finches, cardinals, bluejays, sparrows and mourning doves. It’s amazing to see all of the baby birds beginning to visit too! It even caught a sweet moment of a bluejay feeding another, which I’ve included.CONNECTION/CHARGING————————————The camera connected to my mom’s WiFi right away and hasn’t experienced any issues with it connecting. The camera charge did deplete once but since my mom adjusted the solar panel, it’s stayed at a healthy 99%. Without how much footage it’s capturing, that’s pretty impressive.CONCLUSION——————-Between the “meh” camera quality and the missing mesh bottom, I wasn’t sure whether to give this bird feeder a 3 or 4 star review. However, I really like the size of this bird feeder and how nice it looks vs all of the other plastic ones on the market. My mom, son and I have really enjoyed watching the moments or live feed of the camera as well. Surprisingly, the squirrels haven’t figured out how to get to (yet?). The baffle has been effective in their attempts, as well as the family of chipmunks and the raccoon who live in her backyard. It’s not quite as far from trees as recommended (6 or 8 f feet) either. I don’t think it’s fair to rate a bird feeder based on whether squirrels get to it or not unless it’s made specifically for that purpose, which this is not. Overall, we’ll see how the bamboo bird feeder holds up and I will be sure to update the review if any issues arise.

  • Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2024
    I am very excited about our new Birdfy Bamboo Feeder. We have had an older Birdfy feeder for about a year and have enjoyed watching the local birds come and enjoy it, while being able to get the different birds identified within the app. My daughter particularly loves when they do something silly and loves scrolling and looking for fun videos.

    The bamboo feeder is big, sturdy and much better looking. I like the fact that it has 2 separate seed bins, if you want to separate your seeds. There seems to be a lot more room for seeds and thus far, the video quality seems great.

    I am also excited to have solar for this feeder. The old one would run out of battery and just sit idle for weeks before I noticed it. And where I placed it, it wasn't easy to run a power cable to recharge it. Maybe there was a way to get a warning notification in the app, but I never found it (nor did I look very hard). But with solar, this should no longer be a problem.

    A few minor negatives to be aware of - since this is so big, it's also a bit heavier than the old one, and thus requires a bit more planning for mounting it. It comes with lots of mounting equipment, so that's great. But the obvious place for me to mount it was right on a squirrel super-highway, and they had a field day last time I did that. So I had to be a bit more creative this time.

    I had a few problems getting it set up initially, but once I allowed the app to access my location, it went smoothly. The updated app is more intuitive than before. But be aware that this will only work on 2.4GHz wifi networks.

    I noted that other reviews mention the quality and how it seems to fall apart once exposed to the elements. I am surprised about that, as it feels like good materials and seems to be already stained to reduce weathering. I will monitor that and update this if it seems to be a problem.

    This bird feeder is wonderful! I love how much feed it holds and how you can keep the different seed types separated. The camera is good quality, and the AI identification has gotten much better since we first purchased the system. The solar panel does a great job of keeping the battery 98%+ at all times. However, the bamboo housing is coming apart in places, and the paint is very very worn on all sides. For how much the whole assembly costed, I'm wondering if I should have just bought the camera and solar panel separate and made the feeder out of cedar/plexiglass. I expected some wear after one year, but nothing like this not even a year since I mounted it up.
    Update: the company offered to replace my feeder due to the untimely wear, and the customer care agent was very kind and professional. Recommend 110%!

    Edit: Netvue/Birdfy support reached out based on the review and worked to try to help over a year later, unprompted. They sent a newer version of the product as a replacement to test out. It seems very similar and I suspect the bamboo will have similar issues, so I would STRONGLY suggest if you purchase this to use something to help keep squirrels and other non-birds out. Our "broken" one was still functional, albeit beat up after a year. Moving this review from 2 start to 4 stars for the product and customer support and the notion that a $30 anti-squirrel purchase in addition would resolve the biggest problem I encountered.

    Original Review:
    The feeder is really nice looking and very easy to setup
    and install. It includes mounting hardware for a pole or to a flat surface which is really nice. The camera and app are really nice and easy to use and work pretty darn well for identifying the birds that come to it. It definitely works much better if the camera is facing against the sun, otherwise it gets pretty washed out and misidentifies.

    The construction is really a problem. We wanted the bamboo version because it's sustainably made versus the plastic versions, but the black paint on the top faded with sun and snow and was scuffed off by landing birds within the first week. The front bamboo door which covers the camera housing was ripped off and broken by squirrels who were upset that I left the feeder nearly empty one day. I tried to glue it back together, but the laminated bamboo and rods that don't go all the way through make it pretty impossible to fix with the same materials. It works fine without the front camera door, but I don't think it will last a full year, especially if the squirrels keep getting to it.

    Bummed and wouldn't purchase it again, but would probably get one of the plastic feeders.

    Pros:
    - Easy to install and setup, for both the feeder and software/app
    - Looks really nice out of the box
    - Two separate compartments make it neat to have two types of seed/feed

    Cons:
    - Laminated bamboo is very poor durability
    - Pricey, especially given durability

    Bamboo is sustainable but not durable

    Edit: Netvue/Birdfy support reached out based on the review and worked to try to help over a year later, unprompted. They sent a newer version of the product as a replacement to test out. It seems very similar and I suspect the bamboo will have similar issues, so I would STRONGLY suggest if you purchase this to use something to help keep squirrels and other non-birds out. Our "broken" one was still functional, albeit beat up after a year. Moving this review from 2 start to 4 stars for the product and customer support and the notion that a $30 anti-squirrel purchase in addition would resolve the biggest problem I encountered.
