Window Bird Feeders To Invite Birds To Your Yard

By Suzzie T Franklin

Window bird feeders can be placed near tinted windows so that you can watch the birds feed on the seed in the feeders, without frightening the birds with your presence.

If you like birds flying around your yard, watching them feed on the seed in feeders, then window bird feeders may be ideal. You can even place hummingbird feeders and watch the hummingbirds come towards your window to feed. Seeing those little birds with their little wings. I could watch them all day.

Most Birdfeeders Hang From A Tree

I know a lot of people who like birds, and most of them love to feed them in one way or another. Most have birdfeeders that hang from a tree, or they scatter seed outside when there is snow on the ground for the birds that have stuck around for the winter.

However, there are some very cool feeders out there that can bring you even closer to the birds that you love. You can get window bird feeders that will allow you to view them without scaring them off.

I first saw window bird feeders when I worked as a maid cleaning houses while going through college. I had no idea that they existed until I saw one, and I thought it was one of the coolest things I had ever seen.

These window bird feeders were right up against the window, much like a half a bowl. You would think that would scare the birds, but they were rather calm. The window had tinting on it near the feeder that allowed people in the house to watch without the birds even knowing they were there.

These window bird feeders are really great, but they do look as if they cost a pretty penny. If you want to invest in one, I can’t imagine that you would be sorry that you did so.

Make Your Own Feeders

However, if you want something similar, but you don’t want to spend quite as much, you can make your own alternative. You can have your window tinted and hang a few regular feeders out there. The birds will come but will not be able to see you if you come close to the window.

You can find either type of window bird feeders in stores near you, or you can find them online. Don’t forget to get some hummingbird feeders as well, as those can be a lot of fun to own, and the hummingbirds seem to love them.

Vary Your Seeds To Attract Different Birds

You may want to put different types of bird seed in your window bird feeders so that you can attract more than one type of bird, but try to find some that discourage squirrels because once they are in there, but birds will be much less likely to come and relax in your feeder.

Squirrels can be distracted by offering them their own food in squirrel feeders, set far away from your bird feeders. That usually keeps them away from the birds.

Your Invitation To Birds

Your yard can be become an invitation for birds and animals to wander around. You can see the birds flying to your window bird feeders and the squirrels head to your squirrel feeders. It will look so cool to see them all moving around your yard, locating the food you give them.

You and your family can watch them all from your tinted windows. I have found watching the birds far more relaxing then watching mindless television. One of my neighbors saw my feeders and she has asked me about installing bird feeders in her backyard.

I told her where to get the various feeders and helped her install them around the yard. I put the hummingbird feeders near the trees, to attract the hummingbirds living nearby.

But she loves to relax and watch the birds feeding from her window bird feeders.
