I’ve been following garden deals closely this Black Friday weekend, but none compares to the last-minute Cyber Monday offer at Walmart: a hummingbird feeder camera for $99.99.

Perfect for spotting hummingbirds in the yard – and timed for the final stages of the winter hummingbird migration – this device allows you to witness these delicate visitors up close in your own garden. The Birdfy hummingbird feeder camera from Walmart captures HD photos and videos of hummingbirds as they feed, delivering them directly to your phone via an app. It’s a charming way to observe nature while providing a vital food source during this critical period.

Why Install a Hummingbird Feeder Now?

You may be thinking it seems like the wrong time of year to invest in a hummingbird feeder camera, but the truth is late fall and winter is the time of year many people spot hummingbirds.

This is due to the hummingbird migration, where these tiny birds start a journey south for the coldest months. On their travels, they will make stops in backyards, seeking food and shelter.

For this reason, it's wise to keep a hummingbird feeder out all winter in some states (most notably California, Florida, and Texas), ensuring hummingbirds have access to hummingbird nectar (from Amazon) throughout the season.

While a regular hummingbird feeder (like this hummingbird feeder from Walmart) is just as beneficial for providing hummingbirds with food in the coldest months, a hummingbird feeder camera enhances the enjoyment you get out of it.

A motion sensor turns on the camera to capture detailed images of hummingbirds that use the feeder, which is sent to your phone via an app. What's more, these apps often include information like species identification, including the Birdfy hummingbird feeder camera, so you can learn more about the specific types of hummingbirds visiting your yard.

Why Shoppers Love the Birdfy Hummingbird Feeder Camera

The Birdfy hummingbird feeder camera boasts an impressive 4.6-star rating on Walmart, with over 300 customer reviews praising its performance. One delighted five-star reviewer shared, 'We set up our hummingbird camera and immediately captured video of a hummingbird! Watching them from this perspective is thrilling. The videos and photos are crystal clear, and the setup was effortless.'

It's a simple device to use. Simply fill it with nectar (like this hummingbird nectar at Walmart), connect the camera to the Birdfy app, and enjoy the captured footage.

The reviews are full of accounts of hummingbirds enjoying the feeder. It even has an ant moat to stop insects from getting to the nectar, helping to keep it fresh for the birds.

Shoppers praise the Birdfy hummingbird feeder camera for its sharp photo and video quality and responsive motion detection. “We have so many birds that I often have to snooze notifications,” one user writes.

In addition to real-time alerts, the Birdfy app includes AI species recognition for over 150 bird types. While some users find the identification feature less reliable – 'The bird identification app isn’t very effective,' one notes – others appreciate it for helping them observe and distinguish the different hummingbirds visiting their feeder.

Nonetheless, as a hummingbird feeder camera, customers agree it is very effective and a joy to watch.

'Absolutely stunning pictures of hummingbirds,' one reviewer writes. 'Watching the hummingbirds has been so much fun, and they feed more often than we expected,' another shares.

Some shoppers note they wish the feeder had more feeding ports, as it only features two. But, it should be noted that hummingbirds often fight over resources, so it isn't always effective to have a feeder with so many ports that could cause overcrowding.

As for cleaning this hummingbird feeder, buyers haven't had any issues:

'It disassembles for cleaning and includes extra flower ports, a perch, and plenty of brushes,' one five-star reviewer writes.

One downside is that this hummingbird feeder camera isn't solar powered. This means the camera does need to be charged at an outlet every so often.

Though this is a minor point, especially considering the current discounted price of $99.99, which is just a fraction of the price of solar-powered hummingbird feeder cameras (like this one for $159.99 at Walmart).

Some cameras also have a paywall, but the basic features of photo and video capture, plus 30-day storage, are all included in the price of this Birdfy hummingbird feeder camera, which is definitely a bonus.
