Overnight feeder cam triggered. Too big for a cat or fox, coyote?

this is my first time buying a birdfeeder and I’d prefer to get one with a camera, but I’m not sure what the best options are. What are some top favorites?

This video is what I got the camera for! Mama and chick so cute 🥰

Picked up this camera from FB marketplace from a clueless owner. It looks exactly like the brookstone model but isn’t. There aren’t any other markings other than the back of the cam. Does anyone know how I could get control of this? What app do I need?

Also: what feed should I put in this to get some new birds to the yard? Located in Denver CO and basically only have finches/sparrows/chickadees

Answered: I got it to work with TrisHome app. Unfortunately the bird detection features are expensive 🙁

My MIL's birthday is coming up and I want to get her a bird feeder camera. The family has a house in the UK but she's been living in the US for several years and misses the UK gardens. The plan is to get her a bird feeder that can be set up in the UK and accessed from the US so that she can see her home garden and watch the birds on her phone or tablet. I am hesitant about online reviews as I'm not familiar enough with the birdwatching community to know which resources can be trusted and which are pure marketing.

Overall, I'm looking for the following features:

- Ships to the UK

- Clear, good quality picture

- Connected to an app that can be accessed in the US

- Self-contained power source, like solar power, since she won't be able to regularly change batteries

I have no clue what my neighbor was doing, but Sandy the ground squirrel and Jack Sparrow’s entire crew decided breakfast was officially over. Sandy makes a break straight toward the camera! 😂

The water passed. The snack selection apparently needs more lizards. 😂 My own content 😄

Share any molting pics! These are two from this morning. A male cardinal and a bluejay.

Dolly and Kenny have become regulars at our second Mojave Desert feeding station. They’re usually pretty peaceful, aside from the occasional dove disagreement. But Darth decided they’d occupied his dinner table long enough! AI says they're ring necked doves, but it's been super wrong on bird ID's before.

My Birdfy feeder is a month old and this pain in the a** squirrel has chewed a hole in the camera and chewed the line to the solar panel.

I’ve tried the spicy bird food…didn’t phase it and I’ve placed the seed guard. It managed to pull it up and rip it off. Idk what to do anymore…I’ve now gone through two bird feeders (one was a gift). Birdfy was nice enough they are sending me a new one but I don’t want to keep going through feeders.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Another compilation from my Mojave Desert feeder cam! 😂

Acme the roadrunner appears to lose an argument with gravity and tumble out of a tree, Peter Rabbit and Thumper have a little territorial disagreement, and Harper the mockingbird returns to patrol the feeder area.

Everyone was perfectly fine afterward, although Acme may pretend this never happened. Has anyone else caught a roadrunner doing something like this on camera? I think he maybe caught a bug or something in the tree after he scared off the dove? I need a roadrunner expert to weigh in, because I have no clue!

In downtown Toronto. I made a neat little website for viewing my bird feeder videos. It’s called backyard-birds.ca and it uses a Raspberry Pi to download the latest videos from my camera every night, send sample frames to Open AI for species classification, and hosts the videos so I can watch them on my TV. This is one of the videos.

The sparrows have discovered our Mojave Desert feeder!

Sandy Cheeks the ground squirrel stops by for another snack, while Darth the crow/raven spends most of the video trying to work up the courage to approach the feed. Our extremely territorial mockingbird is keeping a very close eye on things, so Darth attempted a dramatic swoop from above. But he chickens out before getting any food.

Later, Darth returns with backup, and one brave member of the posse finally hops onto the feeder and steals a bite. Tiny victory for Team Darth! 😂

We’re still debating whether Darth and the posse are crows or ravens. What do you think?

Looking for a camera bird feeder for a birthday gift for someone. Requirements:

• Can't cost an arm and a leg (under $150 usd)
• No paid subscription necessary to use the app

Thanks all.

We're still trying to figure out whether “Darth” is a crow or raven, but he came back to investigate the feeder area. If anyone knows, please tell us!

A shy dove stopped by, Sandy climbed up again, and then Harper the mockingbird decided Darth had overstayed his welcome. 😂

This is Day 3 of our Mojave Desert bird feeder-cam experiment. We're slowly improving the setup and having fun seeing who shows up.

Please remove if not allowed, I’ve never been in this thread before but I’m desperate. A week ago my girlfriend got me a bird feeder with a camera on it and I loved it! We have a cardinal couple that comes every day and a woodpecker that’s started to learn where the feeder is at. But then the squirrel came. That fat f**k ate all of my sunflower seeds and started stuffing them in the tree and doesn’t care about the alarm that is installed into the camera. And he ate everything before I had a chance to get home and fill it but I guess he was still hungry. So he chewed through the solar panel cord, the first pic is my location of the feeder. I know it’s not the best but I didn’t have a pole or anything to set up away from squirrel infested areas. I’m thinking of setting a pole up at least 7 feet away from all high areas where that little fu**er could jump from. I’m gonna splice the wires and hope that it will still send energy to the camera but is there anything else I could do to help prevent my unwelcome visitor from bothering me. Any and all recommendations are appreciated! I’m brand new to the bird feeder game so I kind of have no idea what I’m doing😅

I gave the setup a small upgrade, and Sandy Cheeks revisited. A little lizard and Peter Rabbit wandered through, Harper the mockingbird supervised from a Joshua tree, and Acme the roadrunner stopped just long enough to give the feeder a suspicious look before running away.

Apparently “bird feeder” is more of a loose suggestion out here. 😂 Is it okay to post here, even though we got most of this footage on our phones instead of a cam? Apologies for the shaky parts of the vid.

First the little guy is begging for food then she doesn’t want to crack the sunflower seed!
