Close & Easy With An In Window Bird Feeder
Whether the groundhog sees his shadow or not, you can sit back in the comfort of your living room or den and enjoy the promise of spring through feathered friends. With a platform type in window bird feeder, a whole new dimension to backyard birding is seen.
First, the birds come to you. Instead of heading to the window, or grabbing binoculars, birds head right into your room! One-way mirrors in most window feeders allow you to view birds without disturbing them too.
Second, the platform offers the advantage of variety. You’ll be able to attract more species by feeding different foods. Any seed mixes will work, as well as fruit, suet, peanuts, or meal worms. Peanuts and suet are sought during cold winter months as their fat and protein content are high. The extra calories help to keep birds warm.
Third, filling and cleaning in window bird feeders is simple….right from inside your home. Most have trays that lift right out for simple cleaning, and filling, well…you don’t even have to drag the seed out to the yard!
Most feeders fit windows from 24″ to 36″ wide, and side panels provide great insulation and security. For added security, they allow you to completely close and lock your window with the feeder in place. In window feeders make great gifts for seniors who love to watch birds…or for any birding enthusiast, a terrific one-time investment that will bring years or use and enjoyment.

Use a Window Bird Feeder for Non-Yards
Going from a house with a nice yard to an apartment can be tough, you start missing the “green” and nature that’s always been taken for granted. But you can still enjoy feeding and watching feathered friends with a window bird feeder.
Using any seed mix, or even nectar to attract hummingbirds, close up viewing of wild birds is still possible with no backyard. The platform window feeder shown here is great for offering a variety of treats along with birdseed. Feed fruit, suet, peanuts or meal worms to attract even more species of birds. Hummingbird window feeders are available in basin and tube styles, while standard suet cages are also now available in window mount models. Keep suction cups and window clean for best feeder adhesion, and remember to keep a handy bird guide close by to identify new visitors.
Just because you don’t have the yard…you can still have your birds with a window bird feeder!
