Verge writer's $269 Kiwibit AI bird feeder draws tits, then pigeons and mice

A Verge deputy editor documented weeks using the Kiwibit Bird Feeder 2 Pro, a camera-equipped feeder that uses AI to identify visiting birds and send phone alerts with species names. Small birds like Great Tits and Eurasian Blue Tits initially flocked to the feeder, but the novelty soured when pigeons began dominating the feeder for long stretches, triggering the device's Nuisance Animal Alarm without effect, and mice arrived to scavenge spilled seed below.

Kiwibit Feeder 2 Pro adds 4K HDR autofocus camera, gates AI ID behind $90/year plan

Kiwibit's latest smart bird feeder, the Feeder 2 Pro, introduces a redesigned camera with phase detection autofocus and 4K HDR video, a notable upgrade from prior models. Basic camera quality works without a subscription, but features like AI bird identification, 60-day cloud storage, and gallery/report views require the $90-a-year Kiwibit Plus plan, while local microSD storage up to 512GB remains supported.
