About the Prizes
Birdfy was one of the early pioneers in the smart bird feeder industry, inspired by the wonder people experienced when sharing bird clips captured on their home security cameras. The team realized that if an ordinary camera could spark so much curiosity, imagine what a camera designed specifically for birds could do! Over the past 15+ years, Birdfy has developed an innovative range of smart bird feeders, birdhouses, bird baths, and hummingbird feeders equipped with cameras that offer a closer look at nature. These clever devices help us identify the birds and other wildlife visiting our yards, making it easier to observe, identify, and appreciate the wildlife right in our own backyards.
Birdfy is also committed to giving back to the birding community. Through the Birdfy Fund, which has raised more than $1 million, the company supports organizations focused on habitat restoration, preserving natural environments for birds, and establishing wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centers.
And now, you could bring those little moments of wonder closer to home! We’re giving away two Birdfy smart bird feeders with cameras, offering two lucky winners the chance to capture their own backyard bird stories and discover another fascinating world right outside their own window.
