How it works
A camera, a roof, a card
The camera sits in the seed window, the roof carries the solar panel and a memory card keeps the clips. Three parts do the work.
A camera in the seed window
The lens sits right above the perch, so the birds you watch are a few inches from it. Open the app and the perch is live.
A roof that charges it
A solar panel in the roof charges the built-in battery. Charge it over USB-C before you mount it, and hang it where the sun lands.
A card of your own
Slide in a microSD card, up to 128 GB, and it records on a loop. Watching live and saving to your card need no plan.
Before you buy
Six things worth knowing first
-
-
Tree, pole or wall.
The kit has a bracket and screws for a wall, and a strap for a tree or a pole. Set it level and pull the strap tight.
-
Wi-Fi: 2.4 GHz.
Pair it on your 2.4 GHz network, with your phone on the same one, and hang it where that signal reaches.
-
About ten inches tall.
Roughly 10 inches tall and 2.6 lb, with a 1.5 L seed tank. Small enough for a post, a trunk or a porch wall.
-
Wipe it clean.
Refill from the top under the lifting roof, and wipe the tray with a damp cloth now and then.
-
Two feeders, two views.
Two feeders cover two sides of the house, one at the kitchen window and one at the back fence, in the same app.
Why choose it
Why choose the Happy Birdy
Up close, from a safe distance
Birds fly off when you walk up to the window. Here the camera is built into the seed window, above the perch, so you watch from your phone with the lens a few inches from where they land.
The mounting kit is in the box
A bracket and screws for a wall, a strap for a tree or a pole, a nectar jar and a fruit fork all come with the feeder.
Seed, fruit and nectar
Fill the tank with seed, set an orange half on the fork and fill the jar with nectar: three menus on one perch.
Rated IP65 for rain
The maker rates the feeder IP65 and the roof overhangs the window, so it is made to hang outside through rain and snow.
Check in from your desk
Open the app and the live view is there, from the next room or from your desk. It needs your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, and in return it needs no wiring.
The chirp. The rush to the window. Too late.
Now just look at your phone.

I used to stand at the kitchen window with my coffee, waiting. Now I check my phone at the table and see who has landed on the perch.

It is screwed to the wall by the lemon tree. I put a card in it, and on Sundays my grandkids and I watch what the sparrows were up to.

It rained all morning and the feeder sat out there on its post, so I watched from the patio with a mug in both hands.

Questions & answers
Is there a monthly fee?
Not to watch live and not to record to a memory card: both work from the app with the feeder alone. The app also sells an optional cloud service, which adds cloud video storage, bird names and alerts with short clips. It is your choice whether to add it.
Does it tell me which bird it is?
The optional cloud service includes bird recognition, which the maker says covers over 10,000 species. Without it you still watch the feeder live and keep your own recordings, and you can look the bird up yourself.
Will it connect to my Wi-Fi?
It works on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only, not 5 GHz. If your router shares one name for both bands, pair the feeder with your phone on the 2.4 GHz network. The free Tris Home app for iOS and Android needs an account, and the feeder has to hang where your Wi-Fi reaches.
Does a memory card come with it?
No, the card is separate. The feeder takes a microSD card up to 128 GB and records on a loop, overwriting the oldest footage when the card is full. You can record all day or only when the image changes.
How is it powered?
A solar panel in the roof charges the built-in battery whenever the sun is on it. Charge the battery over USB-C before you mount it and hang the feeder where the roof gets direct sun; a south-facing spot is ideal, and a shady spot or a run of cloudy days charges it less.
What can I mount it on?
On a wall with the bracket and screws, or on a tree or a pole with the black strap. The box has the bracket, the strap, the screws and the antenna. Have a screwdriver ready, and a ladder if you hang it high.
Will squirrels bother it?
A squirrel shield for the tray comes in the box. Squirrels love seed, so hang the feeder on a pole, away from branches and rails they can jump from.
Is it waterproof?
The maker rates it IP65, which is built for rain and splashes. It is made to hang outside, not to be submerged.
How do I refill and clean it?
Lift the roof on its hinge and pour the seed in; the tank holds 1.5 L. Wipe the tray with a damp cloth now and then.
What is in the box?
The feeder with its solar roof, the perch, the mounting bracket and screws, a strap for a tree or a pole, the antenna, a nectar jar, a fruit fork, a squirrel shield, a USB-C cable and the manual. The memory card is not included.
