Birdie has introduced a new Pro version that monitors additional environmental factors, including pollen and mold risk. The original Birdie, launched in 2022, featured an air-quality monitor with a playful design—a mechanical bird reacting to CO2 levels by appearing to drop dead to prompt ventilation. Birdie Pro retains this design but includes more sensors for a thorough environmental assessment.
Birdie Pro is available on Kickstarter and can be preordered for $199, discounted from its $299 MSRP. Shipping is slated for August 2026, but potential delays may occur due to ongoing tech manufacturing challenges.
Equipped with new sensors, Birdie Pro monitors temperature, humidity, and integrates online data like Google APIs. The mobile app allows monitoring of mold risks and outdoor air quality, while smart home integrations enable automated responses to poor conditions, such as activating air purifiers.
