    Birdfy, the leading innovator in smart birdwatching solutions, gained tremendous attention from attendees and media outlets at the Consumer Electronics Show 2026. This year's show held significance to the team, which made an appearance at the CES for the third consecutive year. The number of awards it took home hit a record high. It means the team continued to achieve recognition in the consumer technology industry. 

    Birdfy participated in two exclusive pre-show media events: CES Unveiled and Pepcom. Up till now, it has successfully secured more than 200 news stories from quality news outlets. 

    Pocketing A Record Number of Honorable Titles

    Making a successful comeback to the show means Birdfy has continued its momentum in presenting groundbreaking innovations to further reshape the birdwatching experience. This year, the team put two noteworthy products — Birdfy Feeder Vista and Birdfy Hum Bloom — in the spotlight, among a wide variety of cutting-edge smart devices. Along with the Birdfy Bath Pro, the top CES 2026 award winner, they gained three accolades from the CES Innovation Awards. 

    Aside from the above recognition, the Birdfy team pocketed two more awards and a nomination during the show. The Birdfy Nest Duo is on the winners list of the TWICE Picks Awards, which is another prestigious recognition of leading consumer technology. As the world’s first dual-camera smart birdhouse, the Nest Duo offers an unprecedented, dual perspective on feathered friends' lives: From nesting to the nursing of fledglings. It features upgrades that boost the patent-pending remote camera controller, which exemplifies Birdfy's user-centric approach to product development. It also shows that Birdfy places top priority on user experience and the well-being of wild birds. 

    Other brands that took home this title include Samsung, LG, TCL and Hisense. The award is presented by TWICE, the show's long-term media partner that produces CES Daily. 

    In the meantime, the Birdfy Hum Bloom received the Reviewed Award of CES 2026 in Smart Home category. Crafted with an elegant design, this hummingbird feeder stole the spotlight by its capabilities in delivering pristine and professional-grade imagery of the world's smallest bird species. 

    The Hum Bloom is also a nominee at this year's CNET Best of CES Awards in the category of Best Yard or Outdoor Tech. The awards program is jointly launched by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) and the CNET Group, a leading outlet of technology news. 


    Smart Birdwatching Innovations Garner Media Attention

    Birdfy's presence at the CES 2026 garnered immense media attention and secured significant news coverage from top media outlets. The brand's appearance in the television segments presented by Jennifer Jolly further scaled up its brand visibility during the show. 

    Jennifer Jolly is an Emmy award-winning technology journalist, having extensive experience in covering consumer technology. In the segments, she introduced the Birdfy Hum Bloom and highlighted the big news of Birdfy: The announcement of Birdfy OrniSense, the world's first LLM-powered birdwatching AI. 

    So far, the segments have reached 840 million viewers. They aired on more than 20 TV programs, and got syndicated over a dozen online platforms. 

    Birdfy Booth Steals the Show

    This year, Birdfy continued to showcase the smart backyard to birdloving attendees with innovative displays and on-site interactions. The booth featured a house and a backyard, showcasing how smart birdwatching can connect birders with nature at their doorstep. Artificial plants and flowers dotted the setting, helping create the immersive experience of backyard birdwatching. 

    An array of new products and award-winning innovations appealed to every visiting nature lover and media partner. The team was swarmed by visitors, who expressed amazement at Birdfy's innovative birdwatching products and booth design. 

    Costumed characters of the brand, Joy and Rudy, offered cordial welcomes to those drawn by Birdfy's charm. They respectively represent Blue Jay and Northern Cardinal in terms of bird species, capturing the attention of myriad visitors. During the four-day show, the Birdfy booth witnessed the hustle and bustle of this highly anticipated annual tech event.

      Birdfy Announces Groundbreaking Products for 2026

      by TeamBirdfy 25 Dec 2025
      Birdfy, the pioneering smart birdwatching brand from Netvue, announces two groundbreaking products for 2026 that evolve smart-backyard birdwatching: The Birdfy Feeder Vista, the world’s first 360° smart bird feeder with a dual-camera panoramic imaging system, and the Birdfy Hum Bloom, featuring a proprietary AI model trained specifically on hummingbirds with high-frame-rate slow-motion capture capabilities.   Both products represent technological advances for backyard birdwatching, combining professional-grade imaging with intelligent AI systems that automatically identify species, generate top-quality highlight clips, and send real-time visitor alerts.     Birdfy Feeder Vista: The World’s First 360° Bird Feeder The Birdfy Feeder Vista redefines the traditional bird feeder by transforming it into an immersive wild bird imaging platform. Its innovative dual-camera system delivers seamless 360° panoramic views in stunning 6K ultra-HD video, allowing users to experience bird activity from every angle.   At the core of Vista’s design is a breakthrough bottom-up feeding system that challenges conventional gravity-fed structures. A precision air-pump delivers seed from a sealed lower container to a top-mounted feeding tray. This facilitates a truly immersive 360° perspective, which sets it apart from standard smart feeders and guarantees the feeder itself doesn’t block the camera view. The result is a panoramic nature show that puts feathered friends in the spotlight. Users can switch between the 360° perspective and a classic wide-angle view, while the AI software automatically generates breathtaking 120fps slow-motion clips that reveal every detail of bird landings and flights—from individual feathers to complex mechanics of birds-in-motion. The system captures 14-megapixel photos alongside the 6K video.     Intelligent Feeding System Solves Common Backyard Frustrations Beyond its imaging capabilities, the Vista addresses long-standing challenges faced by bird enthusiasts. The air-pump system provides control over feeding speed and portion size through the Birdfy app, helping keep seed fresh, reduce waste, and encourage healthier, more natural feeding habits.  The sealed, antibacterial seed container minimizes contamination while reducing the need for frequent refills. It allows birds to interact with the feeder more naturally and with less human disturbance. Built-in precision weight sensors accurately capture every visit, ensuring reliable activity detection and consistent moment capture. These weight sensors outperform the traditional motion-detection sensors, in that the camera won't get triggered to capture moments of random, larger-sized animals other than birds. The Vista’s AI capabilities are powered by Birdfy OrniSense, the world’s first LLM-powered birdwatching AI. Unlike traditional pattern-based recognition, OrniSense applies contextual understanding and biological reasoning to deliver more accurate species identification and richer insights—helping users not only see who visited, but understand why it matters. Designed as both a functional device and a backyard centerpiece, the Vista has a minimalist design and is made from high-strength nylon reinforced with glass fiber. A tool-free snap-on modular system allows users to customize the feeder with accessories to attract a wider variety of bird species.     Birdfy Hum Bloom: Delivering Pristine, Professional-Grade Imagery of the World's Smallest Bird Species The Birdfy Hum Bloom makes professional-grade hummingbird photography accessible to anyone through its specialized camera system that captures these rapid flyers in either pristine 4K detail or mesmerizing 120fps cinematic slow-motion specifically engineered to match hummingbird wingbeat frequencies.  Unlike standard smart feeders, the Hum Bloom can ensure a pristine, unobstructed viewing experience. The camera will only capture stunning, perfectly-framed images of hummingbirds and the flower-shaped nectar bulb. Its elegant design guarantees no trace of feeding tray is in sight, blocking bird feeding activities. Birders now can truly have a front-row seat to the nature show, where hummingbirds—the world's smallest bird species—take center stage. What also distinguishes this smart feeder is its proprietary AI: the world's only model trained specifically on hummingbirds. The system accurately identifies more than 150 hummingbird species and sends instant alerts the moment a visitor arrives, enabling users to achieve professional-level results through truly one-of-a-kind technology.      Biomimetic Design Meets Conservation Technology The Hum Bloom's design philosophy centers on adaptation. Rather than forcing hummingbirds to modify their behavior, the feeder adapts to theirs. Graceful, organic curves and a pendant-style nectar bulb accurately mimic real flowers hummingbirds seek, attracting them naturally while perfectly framing them for stunning photography. Responsible feeding drives the conservation features. Integrated sensors track nectar levels in real-time, sending alerts through the Birdfy app the moment nectar needs a refill—eliminating the risk of spoiled nectar that can harm hummingbirds. This transforms backyard feeding into an act of conservation and responsible care. A patented hydraulic system ensures completely leak-proof operation, while the nectar bottle installs like a water bottle for mess-free refilling. An included ant moat and solar panel provide chemical-free pest defense and continuous, self-sustaining power. Tool-free modular parts snap apart and are dishwasher-safe for easy maintenance.   About Birdfy: A global company with a well-established reputation for camera product excellence, Birdfy’s parent company Netvue will showcase its full lineup of smart birdwatching products at CES. Under its Birdfy sub-brand, these devices provide effortless backyard birdwatching, detailed capture, and AI bird species identification on users' phones or tablets.

      How to Help Birds Survive This Severe Winter

      How to Help Birds Survive This Severe Winter

      by Birdfy Team 27 Jan 2026
      Credit to Wendy Wei on Pexels Right now, a massive winter storm is sweeping across the United States. With over 22 states already issuing severe weather warnings and temperatures dropping to life-threatening levels, our backyard birds are in a fight for survival. When temperatures stay below freezing, a bird’s energy needs can increase by up to 50% just to stay warm. Here is a straight-to-the-point guide on how you can help them before, during, and after this cold wave. Why This Cold Wave is Dangerous for Birds Increased Energy Demands: Birds burn through their fat reserves at an incredible speed to maintain body heat. Decreased Food Availability: Insects disappear, berries freeze solid, and snow covers the seeds they usually find on the ground. Frozen Water: Natural water sources turn to ice, making it impossible for birds to stay hydrated when they need it most. What to Do Before the Storm Hits Birds can “predict” incoming storms by sensing changes in air pressure. Hours before the snow starts, they will swarm your feeders to stock up. Fill Feeders with High-Fat Bird Foods: Offer black oil sunflower seeds, peanuts, and suet. These are high-energy “fuel stations”. Important: Never feed bread, crackers, or other processed human food to birds. These foods are low in usable nutrients and can harm birds’ chances of surviving a cold winter. Create a Snow-Free Feeding Area: Clear a spot on the ground or use a low tray for ground-feeding birds like juncos and sparrows. Place Feeders on the Leeward Side: Hang feeders on the side of your house or fence that is sheltered from the wind to keep seeds from getting wet or buried in snow. Provide Accessible Water: Use a heated birdbath or float a small ball in the water to slow down the freezing process. Set Up Nest Boxes: Install nest boxes to offer protection from the wind. Birds may huddle together inside to share body heat. You can add a thin layer of dry grass or wood shavings to make them more comfortable.Credit to Birdfy User: Robin Prothro What to Do During the Storm When a storm arrives, small songbirds dive into dense shrubs and woodlots for cover. Cavity‑nesting species go a step further and hide in tree holes or artificial nest boxes. Several birds may even pack into a single cavity to share body heat. Secure All Gear: Make sure your feeders, birdbaths, and nest boxes are firmly attached so they don’t become flying debris in high winds. Reduce Window Collisions Risks: Heavy storms with low cloud ceilings can push birds closer to buildings and increase the risk of window strikes. Close your blinds or dim bright indoor lights to reduce reflections. Keep Pets Indoors: Keep cats and dogs inside. A stressed bird burns energy faster, and they need every bit of it to stay alive. Avoid Unnecessary Handling: Resist the urge to pick up or “rescue” birds unless they are in immediate danger (e.g., trapped or clearly injured). Human handling is extremely stressful for wild birds. What to Do After the Storm The danger isn't over when the snow stops. The days following a storm are often the coldest. Clear Feeding Areas: Brush ice and snow off your feeders and birdbaths. Refresh Water: Empty the ice and refill birdbaths with clean, unfrozen water. Remove Spoiled Seed: Discard any wet or moldy seed. Clean the feeders and refill them with fresh, dry food. Check for Injured Birds: Take a walk around your yard. If you find an injured bird, contact a local licensed wildlife rehabilitator. Keep the Support Going: Continue providing food and water for several days after the storm. It takes time for natural food sources to thaw out. A Final Note: Safety First Most importantly, please keep yourself safe while helping your feathered friends. Extreme cold and icy conditions can be dangerous for people, too. Before heading out to refill feeders or clear snow, ensure you are dressed warmly and be mindful of slippery patches. We want all our Birdfy friends to stay warm and safe during this storm. Wait for a break in the weather if you need to, and never put yourself at risk in heavy winds or whiteout conditions. Stay warm, stay safe!
