Netvue Birdfy Camera Updated Review: Beware the Black Screen of Death

I was given a Netvue Birdfy Birdfeeder Camera system as a Christmas gift. You can read the post here: https://concordriverlady.com/2025/02/21/my-new-toy/

Well, I’d like to update my original thoughts about the Netvue Birdfy Camera system — it’s junk!!!

I have had to replace the camera two times! Which is two times too many for a $300 product. (Now, marked down to slightly over $200. Hmmm, maybe the company knows their product is junk.)

A selection of four different Birdfy bird feeders with pricing and promotional information displayed, featuring images of birds, including a cardinal and a blue jay.
My system is the second from the left.

I’ve replaced the camera twice, as already mentioned (please pay attention). Sure the company was nice to send replacement cameras. They had me dispose of the original defective camera and sent a new camera, sans the feeder. When that camera malfunctioned, they instructed me to send back the camera, shipping label included the email stated (NOT!) and they would send another replacement. That was in March. To date I have not received the shipping label but they did send a whole system, feeder included. I’m still waiting for the return label so that I can return the defective camera.

The third camera is now malfunctioning and this is their response: ‘You have replaced the camera too many times’.

Really? WTF!

It’s not as if I get my jollies by replacing the camera every few weeks. Their product sucks but oh, well, my loss; ‘Have a happy day’. That’s how their email was signed.

And this is what I’m left with.

I know there’s a bird in this photo. I just know it.

Sigh.

My advice, run from Netvue Birdfy products. Or you’ll suffer the black screen of death.

But have a happy day.

Blessed be :{
