The new version of the Birdfy Feeder brings enhanced cameras.
The primary camera now houses two camera units.
Thankfully, there are different options using the same feeder but with different camera combinations.

The first is the Birdfy Feeder 2 which costs $259.99 / 204.99.
Its one camera is the secondary camera mentioned throughout the Feeder 2 Duo on test.
This kit doesn’t include the solar panel, which can be purchased separately for $29.99 /22.99.
Then there is the Birdfy Feeder 2 Pro.
The only construction needed was mounting the cameras, including screwing on a small arm for the secondary camera.
The cameras themselves can be fixed in to position using thumb screws.
Hopefully, Birdfy will come up with a solution, as it seems like an easy fix.
Sadly, the lights and alarm did little to deter the squirrels.
I also got some funny looks when doing this out in public!

Overall, I have enjoyed having the Birdfy Feeder 2 Duo in my garden and seeing various birds visiting.
I couldn’t find the exact specifications for the camera sensor.

Should you buy the Birdfy Feeder 2 Duo?

This isn’t a problem, but if you’re set on 4K, I’d hold back.
It wouldn’t surprise me if the next-generation cameras had this resolution.
You want something squirrel-proof.

Having tested six bird feeder cameras I can attest that none are squirrel-proof… at least not yet.
I left the feeder up there for three months through all weather conditions.
I have also looked at AI recognition and have seen and corrected a few mistakes.
Hopefully, this will help improve bird recognition accuracy in the future.
