Won't birds fly into the window?

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology suggests feeders either very close to glass - within about 3 feet - or more than 30 feet away, because birds leaving a close feeder can't build up enough speed to be hurt.

How do you make the suction cups hold?

Clean and dry the window first. Nature Anywhere also suggests dipping the cups in hot water for a few seconds before pressing them on.

What seed should go in it?

Black oil sunflower seed draws the widest range of feeder birds, including chickadees, finches and cardinals.

Is this the Birds-I-View window feeder?

Yes. Nature Anywhere sells this clear window feeder as the Birds-I-View Window Bird Feeder, and the set-up steps above are based on its instructions.

Where are the Nature Anywhere window bird feeder instructions?

The short version is above: clean the glass, warm the suction cups, press them on firmly, and mount it away from trees and gutters. Nature Anywhere also publishes full instructions on its website.

Honest reviewThe catch, not just the hype

Why this gift works

Nature Anywhere's clear window bird feeder - sold as the Birds-I-View - mounts on the outside of the glass with four heavy-duty suction cups, so chickadees, finches and cardinals feed just inches from the person watching. The seed tray slides out for refilling and cleaning without taking the feeder down, and vents keep the seed dry.

It needs no yard, no pole and no assembly - any clean window works, including an apartment or a room upstairs, and squirrels can't climb glass. For anyone who spends time at home, from kids to grandparents, it turns a window into the best seat in the house.

Who is this gift for?

Great for

A grandparent who spends mornings by the window
A kid who wants to spot birds before school

Think twice if

Their windows are textured or film-tinted
A tree or gutter sits right beside the window

The catch

Birds are cautious of anything new - Nature Anywhere says it can take up to five weeks before they trust it - and it needs a clean, smooth window and a spot away from trees and gutters that squirrels could jump from.

Skip if their windows are textured, tinted with a film, or right next to a tree or gutter squirrels use.

How to install it

Clean and dry the outside of the window so the suction cups seal fully.
Warm the suction cups in hot water for a few seconds - Nature Anywhere suggests this for the strongest grip - then press each one firmly onto the glass.
Pick a window at least 10 feet from trees, gutters or ledges squirrels could jump from, and mount it as high above the sill as you can reach.
Slide out the tray, fill it with seed such as black oil sunflower, and slide it back in.
Scatter a little seed on the ground or sill nearby and be patient - birds can take up to five weeks to trust a new feeder.
