Smile at the Birdie!

~ Up Close and Personal ~

 

Bird at the feeder in Carlsbad

 

 

My wife gave me a fun Christmas gift in 2020...a bird feeder with a camera. We enjoy feeding the wide variety of birds in our yard and watching their antics, but this gives you a very "up close and personal" look...a bird's eye view, so to speak!

 

Not all the photos turn out, of course but they're easy to download off the micro SD card. The first camera was defective but a quick call to customer service got me a new camera, no questions asked.

Jeff I have not heard of bird feeders with cameras before.  I wonder if they have hummingbird feeders with cameras.

Hi Kathy Streib 

It's a pretty cool gift. The tray is small so you won't get big birds but you could mount the feeder on a platform.

I sent you an email with the information!

Now THAT would be a treat George Souto!  Those hummers are hard to photograph, at least for me!

It was a complete surprise when I opened it Beth Atalay  I thought it was so cool. Of course the majority of the photos don't turn out since the birds tend to move around quickly but who cares...easy delete and I can save the ones I want!

Morning Jeff.

Never heard of a bird feeder with a camera.  Now, it is time to go hunting for one.

It IS fun Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS  And the birds enjoy the feeder, as always.

Ron and Alexandra Seigel - I was not surprised to hear from Kathy either. The camera takes lots of pics but only a handful are really any good. Here's another.

James Dray  - I thought it was a pretty neat gift, and not something I had heard of before.

Me neither Brian England

We have one of these Jeff (just not out right now).  It was so fun watching the birds enjoy the water fountain!  So many birds at once - so fun!

Oh my gosh, Jeff, how cool! I wonder if now they have them in WiFi so you don't have to remove the SD card or if this is the only way to do it? Regardless, I WANT ONE! My hubby's birthday is coming up and I've been dying to find him something and he adores bird-watching! 

Thank you for the idea. Can you share what the brand is? And, where she found it?
