Bird‑watching has become a mainstream hobby, and two companies are offering deep discounts on their camera‑enabled feeders for a limited time. Coolfly’s Aura Smart Bird Feeder is now listed for $149.90, a reduction of $140 from its regular price of $289.90. Birdfy’s feeder can be purchased for $109.99 on Amazon or directly from the brand, down $90 from $199.99. A solar panel can be added to the Birdfy model for an additional $20, or buyers can opt for a bundle that includes the panel and lifetime AI‑powered bird identification for $149.99, a $110 discount from $259.99.
The Aura Smart Bird Feeder, which can be bought at Coolfly, features a large seed hopper, long‑lasting battery life and dual solar panels. Jennifer Pattison Tuohy described it as “an impressive package,” noting the side‑mounted camera that captures a wider, more natural view of visiting birds. The camera records up to 2.5K video with a 150‑degree field of view, provides full‑color night vision, and stores footage both locally and in the cloud. Its AI can identify more than 10,000 bird species without requiring a subscription.
Birdfy’s feeder offers many of the same capabilities at a lower price point. It records 2K video, includes night vision and can identify over 6,000 species using AI. Users can view live feeds on their phones, set up alerts for bird visits, and access cloud recordings. However, solar charging and lifetime AI identification are not standard; a subscription costing $49.99 per year is required unless the buyer selects a bundle that includes those features.
In addition to the bird‑watching deals, Verge‑approved discounts are available on several other gadgets. Until October 30, Woot is selling the JBL Charge 6 portable Bluetooth speaker for $119.99, an $80 reduction. The speaker is IP68‑rated, supports lossless audio over USB‑C, and doubles as a power bank. Woot also offers an 8‑in‑1 Baseus charging dock for $25.99, $12 off the regular price, with a 90‑day warranty. The dock adds HDMI, three USB 3.0 ports, gigabit Ethernet, SD and microSD readers, and supports up to 100 W USB‑C passthrough charging. Finally, Govee’s Smart Curtain Lights 2 are on sale on Amazon for $99.99, $50 off, featuring 520 individually addressable LEDs, music sync, and compatibility with major smart‑home platforms.
