Least Favorite of 3
Not knowing which window feeder would be the best, I decided to purchase three types offered on Amazon. I added a picture to the item of the three on my window. (I apologize for the dark image. I was trying to keep from scaring the birds away.)
#1 The Aspects Window Cafe was my favorite (C in the picture)
Aspects Window Cafe Hopper
- most popular with the birds
- easy to fill
- most durable when it falls from the window (darn squirrels!)
- the feeder can be removed for cleaning while leaving the suction cups on window
(I like that so it will maintain a better hold on the window.)
- easy to remove the hulls left behind
- unfortunately the most expensive of the 3
#2 The Droll Yankees Window Feeder comes in 2nd place (B in the picture)
Droll Yankees OWF Observer Window Bird Feeder
- second favorite of the birds
- it can fit a few at a time which was nice
- not as easy to fill
- entire feeder needs to be taken off of the window for cleaning
- difficult to remove the hulls left behind
#3 Birdscapes Clear Window Feeder (A in the picture)
Birdscapes Clear Window Feeder 348
- not popular with the birds. I don't think they like being "inside"
- the hardest of the 3 to fill
- only 2 suction cups
- entire feeder needs to be taken off of the window for cleaning
- difficult to remove the hulls left behind
- the design is poor because there is a seam along the center of the bottom that easily comes apart. Not surprising this has already broken.
- the cheapest of the 3
Placing them in a shady area prevents the birds from flying into the window as often. I have had them awhile now, but only 2 have survived. Having multiple feeders has been fun since so many birds come to eat. I will probably replace the others with the Aspects Feeder in the future.
