Kiwibit AI Bird Feeder Tracks 6 Species in Backyard
The Kiwibit Bird Feeder Pro 4K AI Camera, priced between $179.99 and $249.99, has recorded visits from six bird species since installation in late May.
Earlier this month, I installed the Kiwibit Bird Feeder Pro 4K AI Camera in my backyard and have since become enamored with its capabilities. Setting up the device was straightforward, offering multiple mounting options such as poles, window ledges, and trees. The dual seed compartments make refilling and cleaning easy, while the solar panel ensures no need for frequent battery replacements. The camera also boasts 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi support, cloud storage, built-in two-way audio, and a 130-degree wide-angle lens. The companion Kiwibit app allows users to receive notifications when birds visit, view recordings, and track visits over time. After a few weeks of use, the AI-powered system has successfully recorded visits from six bird species, including a northern cardinal. The app’s proprietary bird-identification algorithm can recognize over 10,000 species, such as blue jays, ravens, and mourning doves. The Activity tab provides detailed insights into visits, videos, and species observed, while the Birds tab offers in-depth information from Wikipedia. However, the system occasionally struggles with accurately counting visits, sometimes recording multiple entries for a single bird. *Source: [techcrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/29/kiwibits-ai-powered-bird-feeder-is-my-new-backyard-buddy/)*
