Netvue’s premier bird-watching division, Birdfy, has unveiled a pair of transformative devices set for 2026 release. These innovations represent a leap forward in backyard technology, merging high-end optics with sophisticated artificial intelligence to offer bird enthusiasts an unprecedented view of nature.
Birdfy Feeder Vista: A Full-Circle Experience
The Birdfy Feeder Vista breaks away from traditional feeder designs by introducing the industry’s first 360-degree panoramic capture system. Utilizing a dual-lens setup, the device records immersive 6K Ultra-HD footage, ensuring that no bird activity is missed, regardless of where the bird lands.
To achieve this unobstructed view, the company engineered a “bottom-up” feeding mechanism. Instead of a bulky top-down grain silo, a specialized air pump moves seeds from a hidden, sealed reservoir to a high-mounted tray. This allows the camera to sit at the center of the action without visual interference from the structure itself.
Key Features of the Vista
- Dual-Mode Imaging: Users can toggle between a classic wide-angle shot and a full panoramic wrap-around view.
- High-Speed Capture: The system automatically generates 14-megapixel stills and 120fps slow-motion video, ideal for analyzing wing mechanics.
- Precision Sensing: Instead of standard motion triggers that can be tripped by swaying branches, the Vista uses weight sensors to ensure the camera only activates when a bird actually lands.
Intelligent Feeding and LLM Integration
The Vista is powered by Birdfy OrniSense, a pioneering Large Language Model (LLM) tailored for ornithology. This AI doesn’t just recognize shapes; it uses biological reasoning to identify species and provide users with educational context about their visitors.
Interestingly, the app-controlled air pump allows owners to manage portions and feeding schedules, keeping seeds fresh and reducing waste. The feeder is built from rugged, glass-fiber-reinforced nylon and features a modular design for easy customization with various bird-friendly accessories.
Birdfy Hum Bloom: Specialized Hummingbird Optics
Targeting the most elusive backyard visitors, the Birdfy Hum Bloom is a specialized station designed to capture the high-speed movements of hummingbirds. It features a camera specifically calibrated to sync with hummingbird wing-beat frequencies, delivering 4K resolution or 120fps cinematic slow motion.
The Hum Bloom’s aesthetic is “biomimetic,” meaning it mimics the organic shapes and vibrant colors of the flowers hummingbirds naturally prefer. This design ensures that the feeding tray remains out of the camera’s sight-line, producing professional-grade, unobstructed portraits of the birds in flight.
Conservation Through Smart Technology
More than just a camera; the Hum Bloom is a tool for responsible wildlife care.
- Exclusive Hummingbird AI: The proprietary AI model is trained to recognize over 150 distinct hummingbird species.
- Health Monitoring: Integrated sensors track nectar levels and freshness, sending push notifications to the user’s phone to prevent the birds from consuming spoiled sugar water.
- Seamless Maintenance: The feeder includes a leak-proof hydraulic system, a built-in ant moat, and a solar panel for endless power. The modular components are also dishwasher-safe, making hygiene simple and effective.
You can catch Birdfy in person at CES 2026 by visiting Booth #51929 in the Venetian Expo (Halls A-D), where you can explore their entire product range and see live demos of their newest backyard technologies.
