We have a large number of bird feeders including four different window bird feeders. This bird feeder is 4" wide front to back and 9.75" in diameter. It comfortably fits a couple of birds, although many birds do not mind sharing and use the window feeder one at a time. It is fun to watch the bully birds that make other birds leave (for example cardinals often shoo away smaller birds).
This bird feeder is not squirrel proofed, but as most bird watchers know there is no bird feeder that can stop a determine squirrel. For example, they learned to shake the bird feeder which closes under the weight of a creature that is heavier than a bird. So we no longer fight with squirrels, we just add more seeds to feed all creatures big and small.
The bird feeder is held by three suction cups. They provide sufficient suction power to hold the feeder, the seeds, the birds, and the squirrels. This bird feeder has a removable tray which makes it easier to clean.
Does the rain get into it? Yes. But the birds do not seem to mind. They are used to wet seeds on the trees. The bird feeder has a few drain holes at the bottom to drain most of the water out of the tray.
What fun to see the birds so up close! If this is your first bird feeder it will likely that the birds will take a week to find it. For the first window bird feeder nothing happened for entire week, and then after a week my husband spread some seeds under the bird feeder and that seemed to help the birds find it. Now that we have a couple of window bird feeders it did not take them long to find the new one. The bird's favorite seeds are sunflower seeds. We spoiled the local bird population with sunflower seeds and if we put out the mixed seeds it barely gets touched where as the sunflower seeds disappear very quickly.
I will let the video be the final judgment for this bird feeder. It looks to me that the birds are giving it 5 stars as we need to refill it every day.
