Window mounted bird feeders are wonderful for people who are home or facility bound or that wish to bird-watch while they work in the home or office. These feeders bring the birds into easy view from inside a building. They are generally held in place on the window with rubber suction cups. You can draw the birds of your choice with a variety of platform, suet, oriole or hummingbird window mount bird feeders. To properly mount your feeder be sure the glass is clean and then soak the suction cups in hot water until they are pliable. The feeder will stay put, yet they are so simple to remove if the need arises.
Some people have expressed the concern that window mounted bird feeders may lead to more window collision deaths or injuries for their birds. This could not be farther from the truth as the feeder breaks up the reflective qualities of the glass, causing the birds to slow down as they approach the feeder to eat. We have more problems with the birds leaving the feeders 15 feet away from our sliding glass door on our patio when a cat or hawk passes through the yard. We have never had a casualty as a result of any of our window mounted bird feeders.
Window mounted bird feeders are a nice solution to the problem of being home or office bound. They allow a person to observe, up close, a wide variety of the local birds and it assists in keeping one's mind sharp with the process of identifying your feeder visitors.
