Birdfy follow up, I canceled my subscription

I recently canceled my AI subscription for the Birdfy because it just isn’t very useful. It costs almost $50.00 for a year and even at today’s prices that will buy a lot of bird feed.

Yes! No need for the subscription. The birds can even be identified right from the native photo app on iPhone which I have found to be 100% accurate even at odd angles. lol.

I've used Merlin since it came out, and before that, I used the Cornell website, which I still go back to sometimes. I tried the Audubon app, but it takes forever just to load. The thing that I really don't like about what you have is that it doesn't take into account your location, half of the IDs are of birds that are not from your area.

Your birdcams are so much better than mine I still am very happy with my birdcam. Someday I may have a cell-phone. Hae a good weekend, see you tomorrow.

$50 per month is an astronomical amount for such a subscription in my opinion. I pay less than half that for my computer's antivirus subscription for the whole year.

Thanks Larry, you saved me some money. 🐦

I’ve been thinking about getting one of these, but the more videos I watch the less I want it!

I also have a mockingbird who loves to hangout at the feeder.

Am old school and still just get out my books and or ask my neighbor who's lived here forever.
Fifty dollars is two months of bird food or deer corn.
Surely there are better wildlife cams. Very informative as I'm looking for security and wildlife cams.
I've a 1936 bird book with gorgeous plates..not Audubon
Trade for an old drafting table 🤔.

Enjoyed this video, what runs on the train track in your bird yard ?

Do you have a problem with your camera picking up the motion from that suet feeder in the background? I have just put my feeder up in really the only place I can, and there is a tree in the background. Whenever the wind blows the feeder goes off and records. I can’t find anywhere to adjust the sensitivity of the camera.

So true Larry…miss identity…save your money

I just got the Birdfy Hummer feeder and didn't hear anything about a subscription?
Sounds like I wouldn't want it either

[sharonginsburg]

Hi Larry. Merlin works well for me. I ve got my feeder/ camera on a post. Losing the battle with the racoons. Any suggestions?

[Michaelhendersonnovelist]

You're right about the "AI", it simply doesn't work. Use Google image search if you don't know the bird.

[leisurelylogan]

If you were into tinkering with computers, there are a few open source projects for building your own bird recognition system. I wouldn't be surprised if this product had borrowed from one of those.

[robertcornelius]

Bahahahaha. I wonder if the Justice System is having the same problem.

[katfreeman]

Can someone please tell me how to charge the camera I plug it in like I think that I’m supposed to and it says a yellow light should come on, but there is no yellow light that comes on🤷🏼‍♀️

Can you still keep the pictures to make pictures?
