I used the original Birdie for over a year, and just knowing it was clipped to my keys gave me peace of mind when I walked home at night. This gadget is like carrying a fire alarm in your pocket. If you ever feel threatened, you simply pull the pin to activate a 130-decibel siren, accompanied by a flashing strobe light; keep the speaker uncovered and directed toward your target. It’s designed to create a diversion and attract the attention of anyone within earshot.
Most recently, She’s Birdie released the Birdie 3.0, an upgraded version with extra features. This model is rechargeable, includes an on/off switch, and is designed with a flashlight you can use without activating the siren. With the She’s Birdie subscription, which costs $5 per month or $50 per year after your 30-day free trial, you’ll gain 24/7 access to a live emergency support representative, location sharing with emergency contacts, and fake call functionality if you need an excuse to leave. I haven’t tested the new Birdie 3.0 yet, but will report back soon with thoughts.
