Nature Gear Acrylic Clear Bird Feeders for Window Viewing, Weather Resistant & Easy to Clean with Sliding Tray, Clear Window Bird Feeder with Strong Suction Cups, Extended

This clear bird feeder is actually my second purchase. It's fun to watch all the different types of birds that come to my window to eat. My last one got a little crowded that's why I had to buy this one. I definitely will recommend them to my friends and family as well. And may possibly buy another!

I purchased this bird feeder as a gift for my daughter because she was very interested in birds. It soon became a family favorite. We get so much enjoyment out of watching the birds up close. The best part is that it entertains our cat immensely. We bought mirrored film to put on the window because we thought the cat would scare the birds, but this has not happened. We made sure we put the feeder on the top half of the window, so it is not at eye level with the cat. I thought it would create a messy window with the bird droppings, but that aspect has been fine. The food tends to build up between the window and the feeder, but that can easily be cleaned. When cleaning, the side seam opened but packing tape to reinforce the side worked well, that is why I only gave it 3 stars, but the suction cups work great.

We bought this feeder a year ago, and it's still going strong. We live in Nebraska and it has lasted throughout the winter. Withstands strong winds as well. We have it placed on a second floor east-facing window that is 20 ft. or less from a row of large and tall trees. It did not take too long for the birds to find the feeder, maybe 2-3 weeks. Once they found it they've never stopped coming over. We've had a large variety of birds visit, with the #1 customers being the House Finches.We've had:- House Finches- Northern Cardinals- Baltimore Orioles- Black-Capped Chickadees- House Sparrows- Red-Bellied Woodpeckers- American Goldfinch- Brown-Headed Cowbirds- Doves- Common Grackles• Suction cups are very powerful and last through rain and snow. I have seen two heavy doves on it and still going strong.• Cleaning your feeder constantly is important. Birds do make a mess that sticks to the window, blocking your clean view from the hole in the middle.We did make a few changes/additions to our feeder. We changed the rubber rod to a wooden one, and we added two wooden perches to the top on the sides, because birds were perching there anyways, but having trouble staying on the plastic.Tips: if you haven't had any luck getting birds to your feeder, you may have the wrong feed. Do some research of what birds are already common in your area and what those birds eat. Change your feed to attract them. We didn't have Orioles initially. I put out some fruit (small clementines cut in half) and they came immediately. We didn't have Chickadees initially. We added some peanut butter+seed mix (small balls we made ourselves with peanut butter, a bit of flour, and the small seeds we already had) and they came immediately. Most birds favorite is peanuts, but we find the Grackles love them too.- Try Black-oil Sunflower seeds to attract most birds, or Hulled Sunflower for less mess.- I haven't tried it, but I hear Safflower is best if you want to deter the black birds and the squirrels.- Peanuts in the shell will attract big birds like the Blue Jays, but also the Grackles.- Shelled peanuts will attract a lot of birds, but Grackles as well.- Fresh fruit or dried fruit, especially orange citrus fruits will get you the Orioles.- No one really cares for the White Proso Millet or Red Proso Millet, they are always the last seeds left on there.*About the Blue Jays. They are definitely attracted to the feeder. I see them trying to land on it, but they fail to do so and they give up. It's not a matter of the feeder being too small for them, since I've seen the other pictures in the reviews where the Blue Jays fit in the feeder. I think maybe the Jays over here aren't as brave, since the Red-Bellied Woodpecker can do it, and he's about the same size.

This is a great feeder for seeing the birds up close and personal. Have to give great reviews to Courtney at Nature Gear for outstanding customer service. This company is wonderful - first they follow up to see if you got your product and if there is anything else they can do for you. When I got this feeder it was ice cold outside and I did not want to put it up then. I emailed back to Courtney and told her I was delaying the installation for a few days. When I was ready to install it I found I had lost the suction cups. Courtney was wonderful and sent me new ones. Now it is installed on my window and just waiting for the birds to arrive. I have 4 other feeders in the area so I am sure it will not take them long to find this one. I love the feeder and the customer service from this company is the best I have ever had from any company. Now I am going to look and see what else they have. If it is a choice between them and another company for the same product I will definitely choose Nature Gear.Update: I love this feeder so much I got another one. I positioned the second one about 10 inches below the first one and have a variety of seeds in the divided trays. The birds came to the second one within about 2 minutes of putting it up. I must have about every American Goldfinch in the state of Texas in my back yard. They adore these feeders. So does the Tufted Titmouse, House Sparrow, House Finch, Cardinals, and others. It is hard to get several birds in these feeders at once (it does happen), but the Goldfinch are very aggressive and do not like to share. Fun to watch them argue who will get the food as the titmouse sneaks in and grabs food while the others are arguing. I also put a paper plate on the deck rail and put safflower and sunflower seeds on it. That entices the ground birds up where you can watch them and gets even more of the small birds to be aware of the window feeders. I can now sit 18 inches away from the birds and really enjoy their antics. They are not the least bit nervous of me being so close. Perfect way to enjoy nature. These feeders are absolutely wonderful. Note: If you remove the trays to refill them, be sure and clean out the tracks of the seed overflow (I use an old toothbrush). Otherwise the trays will not slide all the way in and fit properly.Another update: I got lured in by another feeder’s ad that it was for bigger birds. My jays and cardinals visit the feeders and they are a snug fit. They prefer the platform feeders. So I got the bigger feeder. HAH. It was NO bigger and a pain to fill. Took it down and ordered two more of the Nature Gear feeders. These really stand up to all weather, the suction cups have never failed, and the birds LOVE them. I now have 3 on the windows with a different feed in each tray. Excellent product. Need more windows!!!!! 🤣

Not as sturdy as expected. hard to clean.

This is the second bird feeder I have ordered from Nature Gear and they are> wonderful! I had the first for nearly two years without any problems! The> suction cups never slipped, the plastic was clear and never yellowed and it> attracted at least 15 different types of birds to my window here in coastal> Connecticut. I had to replace it only because my husband mistakenly threw> out the tray. I just bought the larger version and it's just as nice as the> first one. I highly recommend these products!

I love these on my windows....watching the birds is entertaining. Good quality
