Bird Watch At Home

Bird Feeders quite  successfully attract birds to you, just about were ever you may hang them.  They bring birds equally well hanging on a balcony as they do hanging in a garden, there are many types of bird feeders specially adapted for a specific purpose, there is also the homemade bird feeder that will work equally well.

Suet Bird feeders are used for bringing woodpeckers, also they are considered winter feeders, bringing a little fat building for these tiny avians in the colder months.

Squirrel proof bird feeders like there name suggests, are designed to keep the cute critters from eating all the bird seed and scaring the birds away not forgetting those crafty racoons some bird feeders need to be racoon proof too.  Now no squirrel proof bird feeder is one hundred percent infallible, sometimes those little squirrels can interupt your bird watching taking over the feeder.

Window bird feeders are an excellent way of getting a close up view of our feathered friends, as they will be right up in front of your nose.  I recommend hanging a Sheer between you and the window, to avoid startling the flighty fellows.

Hummingbird feeders are specially designed for the narrow beaked nectar drinking birds, quite different that a seed holding feeder.  humming birds will be attracted to  the feeders in the summertime, depending on where you live as some areas do not allow bird feeders to be hung in the summer as they can attract more than birds.

There are other ways to bring the birds to you, bird houses are often a good enticement hung in a good spot, you can get to watch them hoping in and out of the bird house feeding their young.  A passing flocks of birds may stop at a bird bath to bath, or feast on the seeds falling from plants and grasses in your garden, what ever attractants you chose to use to bring the birds to the yard there will be many hours of enjoyment.

Window Bird Feeders

Window Bird feeders are great for the bird enthusiast especially for those that  live in an area that birds habituate, it should be a simple matter of choosing a suitable wild bird feeder that is not only able to attract the native species but that has the most appropriate hanging or attaching mechanism in order to give you the optimum view of the birds feeding at the window, some are hanging feeders, others stick directly on to window,  some of them have clamps that fasten on to a beam or over hang, others are designed to attach to window ledges.

Window bird feeders attract a variety of wild birds, there are some humming bird window feeders,  that  stick right on the window and give a fantastic view of the tiny critters flitting around your window feeder.

 One way mirrors are also a useful feature on a window bird feeder, as birds sit eating you can observe their beautiful colours and mannerisms without frightening them away, I find it is best to have a sheer over the window (like a net curtain only better)  too as this stops any movements from inside being seen.

My cat sits and watches  the birds feeding at the window, tail aflicking attentive following with her eyes, she realizes that nothing can be done, but enjoys observing the wild birds on the feeder.
