In the recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025, the smart bird feeder from HIXXHOME, paired with the CoolFly app, was acknowledged by Home Digest as a Best of CES product. This recognition comes amid a growing interest in smart bird feeders among consumers. HIXXHOME and CoolFly presented their products in an outdoor setting during the iMpact Connect Smart Home Showcase, allowing real birds to interact with the feeder.
The HIXXHOME Bird Feeder incorporates a camera with 2.5k HD video capability and a 150-degree wide lens, enabling comprehensive video capture of birds at the feeder. It also features a solar power system, infrared night vision, and AI bird identification technology. Users receive real-time notifications about the bird species visiting their feeder. The feeder also includes an alarm function to deter squirrels.
The CoolFly app is positioned as a pioneering platform in backyard birding, complementing the capabilities of the HIXXHOME smart bird feeder. It allows users to view images and videos from the feeder and participate in a bird-watching community by sharing content. The app supports multi-user access, enabling several individuals to monitor activities at a single feeder and engage in discussions.
Key features of the CoolFly app include AI-driven bird identification at no additional cost, facilitating accessible birding experiences. Users can engage with a global birding community, sharing media and interacting with other enthusiasts through likes, comments, and dedicated group chats. These chats allow users of the same feeder to exchange videos and other significant moments privately. The app also incorporates an extensive bird knowledge database, detailing various bird attributes such as sounds, size, wingspan, weight, and diet.
Ryan Zhu, CEO and Founder of CoolFly, highlighted the company’s mission during the CES 2025 iMpact Connect Smart Home Showcase. He emphasized the goal of fostering a global community for nature enthusiasts to connect and share their birding experiences.
