Your backyard is now a live TV show: The Birdfy app just landed on Roku
Smart birdwatching brand Birdfy launched its official app on Roku OS TVs, letting users livestream feeders, replay clips, and share bird videos on the big screen.
Birdfy, the smart birding brand known for its AI-powered bird feeders, baths, and birdhouses, has expanded its reach by launching its official app on the Roku Channel Store. This marks the first time a smart birding ecosystem has been integrated with a major TV streaming platform. Roku users with Roku OS 15.1 or higher can now stream their backyard bird activity directly to their TV screens, offering an immersive, high-definition viewing experience that goes beyond the limitations of a small phone display.
The Birdfy app connects directly to the brand's motion-activated cameras and AI recognition engine, which can identify over 99% of North American backyard bird species. This feature allows users to not only watch live footage of their feeders but also explore motion-triggered highlight clips, making the viewing experience interactive and engaging. Furthermore, the app provides a full-screen grid of saved footage, sorted by time and bird species, enabling users to quickly find and share specific moments of interest.
One of the most innovative aspects of the Birdfy app is its ability to keep family members connected, even when they are miles away. By generating a TV Cast Code in the mobile app, users can share their favorite feeder moments with friends or family, streaming the footage directly to their Roku TV. This feature enhances the social aspect of birdwatching, allowing users to share their backyard experiences with a wider audience.
The Birdfy app is currently available for free on the Roku Channel Store and is compatible with any Roku TV, streaming stick, or box running Roku OS 15.1 or newer. This launch represents a significant milestone for Birdfy, affirming the brand's commitment to leveraging technology to enhance the birdwatching experience. Whether you're a bird enthusiast, a wildlife lover, or simply looking for a new way to enjoy nature, the Birdfy app on Roku offers a unique and immersive way to bring the outdoors into your living room.
