It’s especially fun to add a window feeder to complement your feeding station because you get much closer views of birds. If you already have a window feeder, you know how it can change the way you look at feeding birds, literally, and it can renew your interest in some birds. If you haven’t tried a window feeder yet, you will really enjoy the experiences a window feeder provides when you get closer looks at birds. If you choose a window seed feeder to bring cardinals and finches closer, or a window suet feeder to get closer looks at woodpeckers, you will find that window feeders are really underappreciated.

We are sure you will enjoy any window feeder as soon as you adhere it to your preferred window; and you can easily move a window feeder to another location whenever you wish.

Most window feeders are positioned directly on your window glass, where you attach the feeder using strong suction cups built into the feeder. Don’t worry about the suction cups, they make it possible to install a window feeder on any window, and they are dependable.

The holiday season is a great time to have an active window feeder as a focal point for visitors to see, and for children to enjoy.

There are a lot of different window feeders available to birders, with most of them tending to be smaller, lighter versions of the full-sized feeder options we choose for our feeding station.

You can choose from any number of different kinds of small window feeders made especially for feeding seeds, others for suet, and some for feeding peanuts.

A variety of different window seed feeders are available, including mini-hoppers, small platforms, small tube feeders; as well as divided seed feeders that allow you to provide 2 and even 3 different kinds of seeds separately in the same feeder.

During winter, if you live in south Texas or southern California, nectar feeders for hummingbirds are becoming more popular, as are window feeders that supply jelly and orange halves for orioles. Of course, during spring and summer, nectar window feeders and jelly window feeders are an option across their respective ranges.

There are even some window water dishes available.

Most window feeders are relatively small and the foods offered are often eaten in short order, especially in the case of some window seed feeders. However, when a window feeder holds a suet cake or cut orange halves, these foods will last longer.

Because they are relatively small, window feeders are really meant to be a secondary feeder, one you load with foods when visitors are expected, to give them a closer look at some of the birds you attract.

Or you may be interested in adding food to a window feeder at a special time of day, like when you return home from work, or when children are ready for some ‘quiet time.’ It can also be a time when you wish to relax, or clear your mind and get closer to nature.

Some window feeders are colorful, and many are made of clear see-through plastic.

A few window feeders have canopy tops to keep rain or snow out of the feeder, or to provide shade or keep larger birds from dominating a window feeder.

A few window feeders have a mirrored back, which provides a one-way view so you can see the birds, but the birds can’t see you. This can put the birds more at ease about any movements made indoors that might alarm feeding birds.

A window feeder makes a great gift for a young birder to enjoy in their room or study area, and window feeders are also interesting for senior members of the family.

Window feeders are also popular additions to a window in a school classroom, especially during a science or biology class.

Some classes participate in Project FeederWatch, and window feeders can provide an added incentive for students who may not otherwise connect to identifying and counting birds – seeing birds at extra-close range can provide a personal breakthrough for them.

Window feeders are a great way to provide a snack for birds and add a bit more excitement to any home, office, classroom – anywhere.
