I’ve been testing bird feeder cameras since they first hit the market in early 2020, but as a wildlife photographer, bird box cameras have been in my arsenal for over a decade.

And the big brands that dominate today’s best bird box cameras and feeder guides have mostly abandoned wires in favor of all-in-one plastic gadgets that gamify wildlife watching.
