Overview
The Birdfy Feeder Metal 2 4K is a smart bird feeder built around a chew-proof all-metal housing with a wood perch, aimed at gardens where squirrels and weather wreck plastic feeders. Its built-in camera records 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) photos and video, and the night vision mode offers full-colour capture plus an infrared black and white option for after-dark activity. Birdfy OrniSense AI identifies species and also flags behaviour, life stage, gender and unusual health signs, and the manufacturer lists AI species recognition as lifetime free. Connectivity is unusually flexible for this category: it supports both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi bands with a 3dBi external antenna, plus Bluetooth for pairing, so it does not force you onto a 2.4 GHz only network. Power comes from a 9000 mAh battery topped up by a built-in 2W solar panel, charged over USB Type-C at 5V/2A, and the housing carries an IP66 waterproof rating with a 14F to 113F working range. The seed bin holds 1.8 L (60.9 oz), storage is handled in the Birdfy app because microSD card replay is not available, and the feeder is covered by a 2 year warranty.
