Window Feeders are Fun

The Jewel Box Window Hummingbird Feeder.

The Cardinal Classic Window Feeder.

Spring is a great time to add a window feeder or 2 to complement your feeding station. You can get any number of different kinds of small window feeders made especially for hummingbirds, orioles, suet eaters, seed eaters, and there are even some window water dishes. It’s especially fun to add a window feeder to a kitchen window, an office window, or anywhere – because you get such a close look at the birds that are attracted to your offerings. A window feeder can also help to spread out the birds that visit your yard, which can be especially helpful if you have some highly territorial hummingbirds chasing and sparring.

To give you some idea of the window feeders available, we offer a selection of specialized window feeders below, one example from each company, although each of these companies has a selection of window feeders that may interest you:
