$269 Kiwibit Bird Feeder 2 Pro ended up in a closet after pigeons repeatedly took over the device, blocked its camera and emptied seed meant for smaller birds.
30-minute feeding sessions by the larger birds defeated the feeder’s nuisance-animal alarm, while spilled sunflower seeds attracted mice below.
4K video, AI species alerts and built-in bird information had initially made the feeder enjoyable, with great tits and blue tits visiting for days.
The review concludes the hardware worked as advertised, but buyers may be better off starting with a cheaper, simpler feeder because pest attraction is the bigger risk.
