Window Feeder Selection
If you want to get up close and personal with the birds in your yard, a window feeder is your best bet. A window feeder can be attached to a window by Velcro or suction cups, or placed inside a windowsill; its major benefit is the intimacy it adds to the bird watching experience.
A window feeder often comes with a one-way mirror, which allows you to get inches away from your feathered friends without disturbing them. For this reason, some bird lovers mount window feeders near a sink or personal computer to provide a break from work. A window bird feeder is also ideal for poor weather, as it allows you to observe birds from the comfort of your home. And remember, like all products we sell, every window feeder comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can be sure you'll be satisfied with your purchase.
The only way to squirrel proof window bird feeders is to make a crossed hatched and bowed out metal cage around the feeder.(bowing out helps keep their tongue and fingers aesy from the seed.
I love this feeder. It attaches easily to a window and is easy to remove the tray to refill the birdseed. The cardinals love it -- but I've also had woodpeckers and bluebirds. Because it is clear, it is so easy to see the birds while they eat -- it really is a clever idea!
Maybe they should put the height on the unit, not just the length!!! Its about 4/5 inches in height.
We love it... and more importantly, our bird friends do, too! It brings them right into our living room!
Small birds will use it. Problem is only small birds. It is too small for Blue jays an Cardinals. It is too big for Pigeons and Doves which I am fine with, Sparrows fine.
This is a very good feeder. Five Stars. It's very user friendly: simple to slide off and on the suction. The birds also seem to like it as well. The two little foot stands are also very good as the birds use it frequently.
My Mom is 89 years old and a stroke victim. We have her in an assisted living home and she loves birds. For her Birthday in February, we ordered the window feeder and put it on her window right next to her bed and she wakes up excited to see HER birds! It took 2 weeks for the birds to find it, but now there is almost always a little guy inside her feeder! THANK YOU..it makes her day and we could not ask for more.
The hummingbirds love this feeder however very hard to take apart and clean. Need to use a screw driver to hold the clasps together.
