Birdwatching is an amazing way for people to connect with nature and wildlife. Through it, you can learn a lot about different bird species, from being able to recognize their unique vocalizations to having a better understanding of each species’ migration patterns. On top of being a great way to relax and spend time outside, engaging in birdwatching can also help relief stress and improve one’s mental well-being. While traditional bird feeders provide an opportunity to attract local bird species to your backyard, they don’t offer much in terms of engagement, as they require constant monitoring and refilling. However, that’s no longer the case, as technology has completely revolutionized the mesmerizing hobby that is birdwatching. Enter Birdfy, a renowned global brand that recently showcased its expanding portfolio of AI-powered smart bird feeders at CES 2025, designed to enhance your birdwatching experience at home.
WHO IS BIRDFY?
Birdfy is a 4-year old brand that specializes in creating innovative smart birdwatching products, which utilize cutting-edge camera technology and AI recognition technology to detect and accurately identify over 6,000 bird species worldwide, while also notifying users and auto-recording bird footage for them to share.
Birdfy is a sub-brand of Netvue Technologies, an innovative tech company founded in 2010 that has established itself as a pioneering brand in the smart home appliance sector, accounting with over 20 years of experience in developing indoor and outdoor cameras.
During the COVID pandemic, Netvue found that some of their customers who were passionate about nature were using the brand’s outdoor cameras to shoot pictures of birds and share those on social media. After learning about this, Netvue’s CEO, Allen Chen, who has worked for over 20 years in the camera technology industry, was inspired to create a sub-brand dedicated to developing smart bird feeders with built-in cameras designed to provide users effortless backyard birdwatching, and thus Birdfy was born.
The brand’s vision came true with its first product, the Birdfy Feeder, which was designed not just to feed and attract birds but also allow users to watch them closely and accurately identify the species of birds they’re observing, while also enabling them to receive notifications when bird activity is detected so they never miss a moment.
Once the company realized that a lot of people were into the idea of having a smart bird feeder in their backyards, Netvue’s CEO decided to shift their focus from just designing outdoor cameras to start making more and better smart birdwatching solutions under the Birdfy brand.
Birdfy recently showcased its full product line of smart bird products at CES 2025, which includes various models of smart bird feeders, smart birdhouses, smart hummingbird feeders, bird poles, and an array of bird accessories.
During the show, the company was the proud receiver of the CES Innovation Award for its newest smart bird feeder model, the Birdfy Feeder 2 Duo, which was selected for its groundbreaking design with a dual-camera system, paired with exceptional engineering and functionality.
Beyond the CES award, Birdfy also received further recognition by being awarded the prestigious TWICE 2025 CES Picks Winner from Futurernet, solidifying the brand’s position as a leader in smart birdwatching solutions.
During CES 2025, we had the pleasure of interviewing Birdfy’s Brand and PR Manager, SiMian (Estelle) Yang, who mentioned that: “While Netvue’s goal with its indoor and outdoor camera solutions is to use AI technology to enhance the quality of life for homeowners, Birdfy’s mission is to expand the use of this technology to enable bird lovers to more easily connect with birds and nature, making birdwatching more accessible for everyone.”
Estelle added by saying that: “To achieve this birdwatching experience from your backyard, all that users really need is to have a smartphone and one of Birdfy’s products, allowing them to enjoy birdwatching from anywhere and at any time. And since our products are all designed to be user-friendly, even elderly users can enjoy them.”
Estelle ended with a final note mentioning that “With our participation in CES 2025, we’ve also realized that people are now getting more familiar with the idea of combining technology and nature to make it easier than ever to engage in birdwatching, which motivates us to continue innovating our smart birdwatching solutions and further expand our product line.”

In addition to its current product line of smart bird products, Birdfy is planning on releasing an upgraded version of its Birdfy Nest, for which this newer model will only feature one single camera as a way to provide customers with a more affordable option if they prefer it over the current existing model with two cameras (one external and one internal).
The company is also working on developing proprietary seed-detection technology, which will enable users to remotely control when seeds get dispensed from their bird feeders via the app.
Lastly, it’s also worth noting that the company has also established the Birdfy Fund, a fundraising project for which they allocate $1 from each sale. This fund is dedicated to advocating for the well-being of birds and society through various bird conservation organizations and support initiatives. To date, the company has already raised more than $400,000. Through this fund, Birdfy connects with schools, elderly care centers and institutes to educate people about bird conservation while also providing them with engaging bird-related activities.
