WindowBirdBird feeder camera

An old phone at your window turns any feeder into a bird camera.

Press an old phone's lens against the glass, point it at the feeder outside and leave it plugged in. It watches all day, records every visit as a short clip and names the bird on the device. Your main phone shows who came while you were out.

Live view, today's visits and your first five species are free, and stay free. The full history, the collection beyond your first five species, rare-visitor alerts and the weekly reel open with one lifetime purchase — no subscription, nothing renews.

Keep the watching phone somewhere it cannot fall, point it at the feeder rather than at anyone, and never disturb a bird or a nest for a better shot. Read the rules of safe use before you start — they take a minute and they are the ones that matter.

What you get

We hold none of your video

Species recognition runs on the phone, offline — no image is sent anywhere to be identified. Clips stay on your phones and, if you connect one, in your own cloud folder. We run no servers and hold none of your video. No account, no advertising. Clips are silent: the microphone is never used. Crash reports can be switched off in Settings. Read the privacy policy.

What you need

WindowBird identifies birds through window glass in daylight. It is not a night camera: glass blocks infrared, and the birds at a feeder are awake by day. Squirrels and other visitors are recorded and kept, but only birds are named.
