The bird feeder is suitable for various seeds, suet treats and mealworms. It is perfect for bird watching from the comfort of your own home. Sidewalls and roofs protect the seed from getting wet and nasty. Even many window bird feeders have a divider in the middle of the sliding seed tray so that you can provide multiple types of seeds for the birds. This excellent window bird feeder comes with 3 strong suction cups that allow you to mount the feeder high on a glass window. It has 3 steel hooks that help the feeder remain attached to the suction cups.

This squirrel-resistant bird feeder is made of powder-coated steel and comes complete with a 5-foot mounting pole and all necessary hardware. Designed kids toys with a tension spring that collapses the seed port under a squirrel’s weight, this feeder effectively keeps squirrels out. Different bird feeders have different capacities in regard to how much food they can hold. Some are smaller and designed exclusively for suet food, while others can hold several pounds of birdseed.

Roll your vegetable fat or lard into a ball and place in a tray with your bird seed.

They also come in a variety of sizes so there should be one big enough even if you have a triple-wide window. You can find sunflower seeds packed both shelled and unshelled. Shelled seeds can be more economical per pound, since you aren’t paying for discarded shell weight, and any scraps on the ground will quickly get eaten.

Of course, if you have a really small window feeder, then this may exlcude some large specices of birds. Just like humans, some birds are more inquisitive and bold, whilst others are more cautious or nervous. You will probably find some birds start feeding soon without any problem. Whilst other birds may be very skittish and revisit many times before eventually starting to feed. Squirrel Baffles prevent squirrels from pinching bird feed.

The best all-round is probably the small black-oil sunflower seed. It costs a little more but is preferred by many smaller species, including chickadees, nuthatches, and titmice. It has a high oil content that is nutritionally important for birds, and a thin seed coat that is easy for them to crack open. If you are going to provide one seed, this is the one to choose. There are many kinds of seeds and feeders, and the choice may seem overwhelming at times.

The sloping roof keeps the bird and the seed protected from the wind and rain. Once the birds have discovered this, they should keep making return visits. The tray has 3 compartments, 1 either side for different seed types and the middle for drinking water, or all 3 for food if you have a separate water source. Simple to assemble and attach to the window, it features a 1-way mirror. This allows you to see the bird but he can’t see you, he will carry on merrily eating away as you and the children watch on in awe. As with weight operated feeders, this needs to situated at least 18 inches from possible squirrel sites, to prevent him from leaning in.
