| We have had one of these for years and this was bought as a gift for my son. If you like to watch the wild birds feed close at hand, this is for you. |
Superb little window feeder!

Stick this on the window with the easy to use suckers. Obviously make sure it sticks first with common sense! (clean both surfaces and dampen the suckers slightly first).
Nonesense about double glazing, as if that makes any difference! My'n stuck fast for months. If it does fall then it might break easily as it is fairly brittle plastic.
You will need to be patient as the birds will be nervous at first. Make sure there is not too much movement in the room where the feeder is placed.
My bluetits particularly like the mixed seed especially sunflower seeds.
Robins also come and have a feast.
I have a host of other feeders in the garden so probably helps having alot of birds in the garden to get used to it.
I placed it close to the bush so they can skip in and out quick to help them if they are a little scared.
I am very happy and can watch them feeding from my armchair :-) |
Endless pleasure

I bought this product, not from Amazon, two or three years ago for my armchair bound 90 year old mother.
She has had endless endless total joyful pleasure from it. As time goes on more and more birds use it. Even big ones try to get in and learn the technique (they're the ones that bring it down occasionally as it really is only big enough for robins and finches etc). She even hears the birds pecking. Her carers have it as part of their job that they put out food for the birds.
Yes it does fall off sometimes, and yes some seed falls out, but that happens to all feeders.
Have patience. Birds take time to get used to this. It took a season. Maybe it also it helps that my mother's garden itself is quiet and overgrown. I am now going to buy a replacement, just in case, but the old one is not broken yet and it has had constant use!
One bird even took to stationing its baby in it this year to be fed!
Hope this helps.

I bought this item as a present, they were very pleased with it, perfect for bird lovers without much of a garden. Delivered quickly and fairly priced.
Thanks |

| At less than a fiver, these are a great little item. If you want sturdy - spend more money and buy a more expensive one, but we have been using ours for ages and enjoy watching robins, blue tits, coal tits, great tits, sparrows and even our resident nut hatch feeding. My only gripe is that the wooden perch keeps slipping out on one side as the birds dislodge it on take off/landing, but hubby is going to put a rubber washer round it. My mum had one but the birds didn't use it - however, this was down to her location rather than the feeder! Ours gets great usage and I have to top it up twice a day. They soon get used to seeing you watching them and I can stand at the sink without disturbing them. It took less than a day for our first customer! |
