Birdfy’s Hum Bloom captures 120fps slow motion footage of hummingbirds

Ahead of CES 2026 getting underway successful early January, Birdfy has announced 2 caller camera-equipped smart vertebrate feeders that tin place and seizure visitors successful slow motion. The Birdfy Hum Bloom is specifically designed to pull and grounds hummingbirds utilizing a nectar bulb that mimics flowers they’re people attracted to, while the Feeder Vista introduces a 360-degree camera and a bottom-up feeding strategy that doesn’t obstruct views. Both feeders are expected to beryllium disposable successful Q2 of 2026 but pricing hasn’t been announced.

The Birdfy Hum Bloom is built astir an 8MP camera that tin seizure 4K video of hummingbirds astatine 20fps. Capturing 120fps slo-mo videos requires a driblet successful solution to 1080P, but pinch hummingbirds flapping their wings astir 50 to 80 times per 2nd while hovering, you shouldn’t expect footage that will rival a National Geographic documentary.

The feeder is designed to bent from a character branch aliases different support and features a hydraulic strategy to pump nectar into the feeding bulb that dangles successful beforehand of the camera truthful a hovering hummingbird is ever perfectly framed. Sensors way nectar levels and nonstop alerts to the Birdy mobile app erstwhile a refill is needed, while an “ant moat” supra the feeder helps forestall the nectar-loving insects from swarming the feeder.

The Birdfy Feeder Vista features a brace of back-to-back cameras, akin to what you’ll find connected the DJI Osmo 360 and the Insta360 X5, that tin seizure 14MP panoramic stills aliases 6K 360-degree videos astatine 30fps. Dropping the solution to 2K enables slow-motion video signaling astatine up to 120fps, and you person the action of viewing conscionable a azygous camera astatine a clip for a wide-angle view.

Unlike astir smart birdfeeders that hide a gravity-powered seed dispenser down their cameras, the Feeder Vista employs a unsocial air-powered piston to push seeds up into the feeder area from a sealed instrumentality below. This attack ensures the instrumentality is ever retired of framework successful 360-degree images and videos, and it allows you to remotely power “feeding velocity and information size” utilizing the Birdfy mobile app.

Both of the caller feeders are tin of identifying and providing specifications astir visiting birds utilizing Birdfy’s LLM-powered OrniSense AI. While the Hum Bloom relies connected accepted mobility sensing to observe hummingbirds successful flight, the Feeder Vista uses a caller weight sensor that helps guarantee only birds that onshore to provender are recorded. Animals, cars, aliases group moving done the framework are ignored. Knowing really overmuch a vertebrate weighs besides allows the AI to estimate its size which improves its accuracy erstwhile identifying it.
