The good visitors come at half past seven in the morning and at four in the afternoon, and you are asleep or at work for both. That is the actual problem this bird feeder solves: there is a camera in the middle of it, pointed at the perch, and it sends what it sees to your phone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe camera in the bird feeder shoots 2K video and streams it live, so you can open the app at lunch and see who is on the perch right now. When something lands, the bird feeder pushes a notification — you get the arrival rather than the aftermath. Clips save, and two people can watch the live view at the same time, which in practice means you and whoever else in the house cares.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is also species identification in the app. The manufacturer puts its library at more than 10,000 birds; that is their figure rather than something we can check, and how well it does on a streaky brown finch in poor light is genuinely a matter of luck. Read it as a good first guess rather than an authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe subscription, stated plainly, because it is easy to miss.\u003c\/strong\u003e The AI identification comes with one month free. After that month it is a paid subscription, monthly or yearly, and the manufacturer does not publish the price — you will see it in the app when the trial ends. Video features are tied to activating the service in the app as well. The bird feeder itself, the camera hardware and the solar panel are yours outright; the cloud side of it is an ongoing cost, and you should decide about that before you buy rather than a month afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower is the part that surprises people in a good way. A solar panel is built into the red roof, so in an ordinary garden position the bird feeder tops itself up and you are not taking the whole bird feeder down to charge it every fortnight. Wired power is an option if you would rather. The housing is UV-stabilised ABS, made to stay out through rain, snow and summer sun, and it mounts flat against a tree, a post or a wall, so the bird feeder needs no cable run to reach it. No pole comes with it — some of the manufacturer's photos show one, but it is not in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn squirrels: there is no cage and nothing closes. What there is, is a scare sound you set off yourself — from the app when you see one on the camera, or at the feeder. It moves a squirrel along; it does not keep one away from the bird feeder while you are out. Anyone buying this expecting a squirrel-resistant bird feeder should buy a caged one instead and put this somewhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Camera Faces The Perch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Roof Is The Power Supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Sound You Set Off Yourself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt To Sit Outside All Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Winslow Lane","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43305217851469,"sku":"WL-BIRDCAM","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4445\/6781\/files\/2ef265f7ab489b52916c8ff24eaffbb1.png?v=1784957015","url":"https:\/\/www.winslowlane.com\/products\/bird-feeder-with-a-camera-2k-video-solar-powered-species-id-in-the-app","provider":"Winslow Lane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
