Why You Need a Window Bird Feeder

Wednesday, September 6, 2023

Whether you already have a feeder set up or not - a window feeder is such a fabulous addition to any home and invites a lot of extra joy into everyday life. Window feeders provide a unique opportunity for people to observe birds up close without disturbing them. The birds come right to the window, allowing for detailed views of their behaviour, feeding habits, and interactions. It's the perfect pairing to a (bird friendly) morning coffee, doing the dishes - or simply strolling past!

  • Great for kids:  This is such a key educational opportunity, learning to identify different bird species, which foods they may prefer, individual behaviours and more 
  • Provides peace: This close connection to wildlife infused into everyday life offers moment of quiet observation, and even joy. There is nothing like looking over and realizing there is a Cardinal enjoying some mealworms right at your window.
