Open Box Smart Hummingbird Feeder with HD Camera

From the first ruby-throats of May to the last stragglers of September, hummingbirds rarely hold still long enough for a proper look. This open-box hummingbird feeder with camera keeps watch for you. A built-in HD camera detects each visitor and automatically takes photos and video, which you then view on your phone. It’s also designed to recognize the species that come to feed, which helps when you can’t tell one tiny green bird from another.

Which hummingbirds visit Canadian gardens?

It depends on where you live. Across much of southern Canada, from Alberta to the Maritimes, the ruby-throated hummingbird is the usual summer guest, arriving in spring and heading south by late September. British Columbia and parts of Alberta also see rufous and calliope hummingbirds, and Anna’s hummingbirds stay year-round on parts of the BC south coast. A feeder that records and identifies its visitors makes it easy to keep track of who shows up and when.

What the hummingbird feeder with camera does

Hands-free recording

When a bird arrives, the feeder detects it and starts capturing on its own, so you get clear shots of hummingbirds both hovering and feeding. The images arrive on your phone, ready to look through over morning coffee or share with family.

Species identification

The smart system doesn’t just record. It’s built to recognize the different birds visiting your feeder, a nice extra for kids learning backyard birds or anyone keeping a garden log.

Where to hang it

Hummingbirds are drawn to red, and this feeder leans into that with red, floral details and an ergonomic perch. A sturdy hook lets you hang it from a branch or a support in the garden, on a balcony or over a patio. Choose a spot you can reach easily for refills, ideally with some afternoon shade to slow down spoilage in the July heat.

Nectar basics

Most bird groups recommend one part plain white sugar to four parts water, with no red dye or honey. Swap it every few days, more often in hot weather, and rinse the feeder each time you refill it.

Open box, tested and covered

As an open-box item, this feeder’s box has been opened, so it isn’t sealed-new. We inspect and test it before shipping, and you can read about our checks in the open box grading guide. It carries our 90-day limited warranty and 30-day returns, as long as it comes back in the condition you received it. Power and phone setup details aren’t covered here, so contact our team with any questions before you order.
