The Birdfy Feeder Rookie is a good option if you’re new to birdwatching or simply don’t want to spend a lot on a smart feeder, and several configurations are on sale. The standard model is down to $59.99 ($60 off) at Amazon, which is close to its lowest price. It includes seven days of access to its AI-powered features that can identify different kinds of birds (after the trial expires, it can identify birds up to 10 times per day without a subscription). Alternatively, you can get a version that permanently unlocks its AI bird identification for $85.49 ($34 off) at Amazon, or pick up the standard model with a solar panel for $79.99 ($60 off) directly from Birdfy.
[Product: Birdfy Feeder Rookie | https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0FVSJLXM3/?tag=theverge02-20, https://go.skimresources.com/?id=1025X1701640&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.birdfy.com%2Fproducts%2Fbirdfy-feeder-rookie, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FVSHN3BZ?tag=theverge02-20]
The Rookie covers the basics offered by most smart bird feeders. It features a 1080p camera that lets you watch visiting birds from your phone throughout the day, with notifications alerting you when there’s activity. The camera can also capture slow-motion video and color night vision that you can replay in the Birdfy app. Unlike many smart feeders that place the camera in the center of the seed bin, Birdfy’s camera is located to the side, which provides a closer view. You can also share access with friends and family.
The Rookie has an IP66 weather-resistant rating, and its built-in battery can last up to four months on a charge; you can also get a version with a solar panel for $20 more. The feeder holds up to 1.3 liters of seed, too, so you shouldn’t have to constantly refill it, and it comes apart easily when it’s time for a cleaning.
Three more Verge-approved deals
* You can buy Fujifilm’s pink Instax Mini Evo bundled with two packs of film (one color and one monochrome) for $212.90 at B&H Photo, which is a rare deal. That’s like getting one pack of film for free, along with a roughly $22 discount on the camera itself. If you prefer the black model, it’s also on sale with one pack of color film for $236.50 (about $22 off). The Evo is my favorite instant camera because you can preview shots before printing to avoid wasting film and print photos directly from your smartphone. It also looks stylish and produces better-looking prints than most instant cameras I’ve tested.
* Nothing’s Headphone (a) are down to $164.99 at Amazon, which is their second-best price to date. They offer solid noise cancellation for the price and can last more than five days on a charge, while letting you listen over USB-C or a 3.5mm cable when needed. Plus, they’re IP52-rated for dust and water resistance, which isn’t something you always find on over-ear headphones. Read our review.
* The Lego Star Wars K-2SO Security Droid is down to $71.99 ($18 off) at Amazon and Walmart, matching its best price to date. Based on the Imperial droid-turned-ally from Star Wars: Andor season two, the 845-piece set lets you build a 16-inch-tall display model complete with an information plaque and a standard-size K-2SO minifigure.
