ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.

ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

One thing I've learned about homeownership over the past three years is that you will become very invested in birdwatching when you purchase a home. I get excited now when I spot a red-breasted nuthatch or a blue jay in the front yard.

Over one in three adults in the U.S. enjoys birdwatching, otherwise known as birding. And while getting your binoculars out to see birds is one way to do it, there's an even more high-tech way for birding these days.

The Birdfy Smart Bird Feedercaptures all birds on camera and alerts you when one stops by. Right now, you can get the Birdfy feeder with AI features for $67 off during Memorial Day sales.
