Garden Song 462-6 Window Bird Feeder

This little feeder has provided hours of entertainment for my cats for very little money. The plastic of the feeder is pretty flimsy and cheap, but once you suction it onto the glass it holds tightly and becomes quite sturdy. It hasn't slipped even the slightest bit since I put it up a couple months ago. Finches and sparrows love it - especially once they realize my cat can't actually reach them - and spend hours every day on it. It's too small for larger birds like Cardinals, though, so keep in mind you'll only be attracting the smallest species. Cleaning it is as easy as popping it off the glass and dumping out the shells. I've wiped it off with a damp paper towel if there was some waste stuck on it, but that's been a very minimal problem for me. Great for beginning backyard birders or small patios or balconies. Mine is on a sixth floor apartment window and I get a steady stream of visitors from morning to evening!

The hook and slot system they use does not work very well. I can only get one hook to hold it on the window. The other hook is there but doesn't do anything. Other than that I do like the feeder.

This is a great, low-cost window bird feeder. I put them up several months ago to entertain my kids and cats. What I didn't expect was two squirrels would eventually find them and break off the small red knobs that prevent the seed from just pouring out the holes at the bottom of the tube next to the tray. However, the suction cups are awesome--they've held up in direct sunlight during 90+ degree days, and during the past several weeks when we've gone well below freezing. They've held little finches and these enormous squirrels. The squirrels like to sit on the tray, pop off the red knob/seed regulator, and then pig-out, and the feeders haven't budged through any of this.
So if you live in an area void of squirrels, these are great bird feeders. They assemble quickly, clean up easily, and stick like glue to a clean window. The tray is great for catching shells and keeping most seed in the feeder (instead of all over your patio or flower beds.
But if you live in an...Read more
