Bilantan BirdHi Bird Feeder with Camera

The event capturing and AI to identify birds is great. Easy to setup, just make sure wherever you are putting it there is good Wi-Fi signal.

I have always enjoyed birdwatching but could never get the full experience without binoculars. This camera is amazing and allows you to get the full experience at or away from home. I have had so many birds visit the camera as they were already used to other feeders and food I had up in the area; it took no time for them to visit! Of course, I also get to see a couple squirrels for which the corn I give them isn’t enough and have also caught both a possum, raccoon and stray cat on the camera!

Very easy to set up and pictures/videos of the birds have come out perfect! A must have for anyone who enjoys birdwatching.

The Bilantan BirdHi feeder has been amazingly fun to watch so far. We had tried setting up a camera in our yard to capture birds at the feeders but it was never quite close enough or in focus to do the job. This camera gets up close and personal with your backyard bird friends. The pics are very detailed and clear. I love watching the video clips to hear the songs and chatter of our various backyard visitors. Although sadly the videos are only ten seconds long and I couldn't figure out a way to adjust their length. But it does start up new clips right away so may see multiple clips of the same bird visit. I did end up catching a few birds on video that I hardly ever see in our yard such as a blue bird and a red winged blackbird which was a nice surprise. Usually we have very frequent visits at the feeders at our house so the battery did drain quickly. I also had to turn off alerts from the app on my phone because they were almost constant and draining my phone battery quickly. Because of the quick better drain on the BirdHi itself, if you have many bird visitors, I highly recommend this model with the solar panel otherwise taking down the feeder weekly to charge can be inconvenient. I also tried the free trial of the AI to identify birds. Typically the AI eventually got the bird correct but some of the initial alerts from the app were hilariously incorrect. No way do we have wild cockatoos in the midwest US! I think the AI feature has potential but needs some adjusting especially for likely birds at your location. The initial setup for the feeder was super simple overall and it attached securely to a post where we already had feeders with a baffle to deter squirrels and raccoons. The feeder and camera seems pretty sturdy and well built although I do have some concerns about the perch as it seems a bit on the flimsy side. Before installation outside, I did have some difficulty charging the camera but I think I was using the incorrect cable. I never figured out exactly what the precise issue was. But the camera has been charging outdoors with the solar panel just fine. It is also easy to adjust the solar panel separate from the feeder to get a good sun angle. Overall I do recommend the feeder for a fun way to get an up close view of your backyard birds. I think it would be a great gift for someone who may not be able to frequently see and hear the birds outdoors.

I purchased this for my mom for her birthday. She is an avid birder and enjoys identifying all the different species that migrate through her backyard. She's had it several months and is still sending my updated pictures of what she sees. I would definitely recommend!
