Ideal for houses with small gardens and balcony windows in apartments, the bird feeder window hook can take a bird feeder weighing up to 1.5kg.

Most types of hanging bird feeders can be used with the window hook, with foods including straight seeds, seed mixes, peanuts and suet. Using more than one bird feeder window hook to allow for different foods to be put out, will help attract a greater mix of species such as Blue tit, Robin and Chaffinch. To prevent birds from colliding with the window glass, it’s important to have some sort of visual barrier in place - e.g.

open vertical blinds on the inside of the window or thin lines drawn with a pen directly on the glass. . Our bird feeder window hook is a simple but effective device which allows hanging bird feeders to be positioned right against windows.

This then means that birds can be observed feeding very close up. The window hook fixes to the glass using two suction pads, which can take a surprising weight of up to 1.5kg. This allows for most types of hanging feeder to be used, such as peanuts, sunflower hearts, seed mixes, suet products or live mealworms.

And of course, if more than one bird feeder window hook is used, then more than one type of food can be put out which in turn will attract a greater variety of garden bird species such as Great tit, Coal tit and Siskin. One important consideration if using this window bird feeder hook, is to take steps to minimise the risk of birds flying into the glass (this also applies to feeders used in a garden but close to windows). The best way to do this is by creating vertical lines, which birds see as a barrier and therefore don’t attempt to fly through.

Vertical blinds are ideal as they can be adjusted to allow for enough space for the birds to be observed, but at the same time create a visual barrier which they won’t attempt to fly through. Other ways of achieving the same effect are to draw thin lines on the glass with a marker pen about 5cm apart (doesn’t matter which side of the glass), or hang lines of string from the top of the glass the same distance apart.
