Upclose Window Feeder – Anmeldelser

Window bird feeders are the best way to get really close views of birds feeding. This type of window feeder is also relatively safe for birds, and actually reduces the risk of window strikes versus a feeder in a garden which is relatively close to a window. This is because birds will fly to the feeder on the glass and be ready to land when they get to it, whereas a feeder at a distance of, say, 5 metres from the glass, means a bird leaving the feeder and not recognising the window glass as a barrier, will have built up enough speed at the time of impact to potentially be killed.

Using a bird window feeder allows for close study of birds such as Robins, which will also find the rim of the feeder easy to stand on versus a straight perch on a hanging tube feeder. During the breeding season, Robins and other songbirds can usually be attracted by putting live mealworms into the feeder, which are then either eaten by the adult or taken back to the nest for the young birds.
