A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2006 WOW--up close, and personal!

I sat down to take a pic of my new window feeder now it's actually in...and a little sparrow landed and started eating.....what a cool treat, because I had my camera in hand & we only put it in the window yesterday. I think I'm going to hang a HB feeder near it too!

Here's my feeder! I literally have the chair right next to it...so I can sit and watch them whenever I want to! Think of the pictures I'll be able to get!!!

That is way cool, Loz. And I love the feeder, too.

Oh, man! That is so COOL!
I wish I could have one of those. Lola would love it!

(Unfortunately, the cat would REALLY love it!)

Don't mind the window, that's the only one in the kitchen that Mark hasn't trimmed out yet.

I can't tell you how excited I am about this feeder....I could waste my whole day sitting there watching it.

That is just the coolest thing Loz. I cannot wait for more pics from you. Are you able to open any of the window panes so you can fill the feeder or do you go outside for that???

Yep Triss, that middle window section opens straight up so I can fill it from the inside which is nice....so if you put it in a window where you can't reach it from the outside it's no problem!

One of the best things I ever bought!!!!!

That sure makes it easy, especially if you have it up on the 2nd floor!

loz - that is such a wonderful feeder!
I can see how you would want to spend the entire day sitting there watching your birdie friends!

Can't wait to see more pictures!

wow!!! that is SOOOO COOL!!!! I wish I could have one but as cindy said....my cat would REALLY REALLY love it

Your little sparrow is a Chipping Sparrow, Loz. One of the Springtime Migrants. They nest in our area, so you might have a regular Summertime customer there.

i want one please post the url so i can get one... that is too cool!

Cool Thorny! I wondered what a chipping sparrow looked like exactly!

Jiffy, they don't have any left like the one I got.....but other places do. The place I got mine has this one though and it's cheaper.

window birdfeeder

There's also this one if you have casement windows.

birdfeeder

There are a couple of co's that make those window feeders. That one looks like a 'The Birding Company' feeder. There are also feeders that stick to the outside of the glass or use tension bars so your window closes the whole way.
Great picture of the chippy! Theyre one of my springtime favorites.

That is so neat!! I WANT one of those! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I'm still waiting on more birdies to find it....there must have been a few when I wasn't around because there is some more seed missing.

Loz, Is your one with the one way stuff so you can see the birds, but they cannot see you?

Yep Triss it is, that's the best part of it I think...

I could've made a wooden ledge for a birdfeeder that mounted to the window but it wouldn't have been the same without the one way stuff.

I can sit there and they really, honestly can't see me at all. From the outside it looks just like a mirror.....

Here's a pic from the outside!

That was what I was wondering cuz I want to see if my FIL can make one for us. I am going to have to look for one way glass or plastic or something for it. Thanks for that pic.

Cool Triss!!!!! I was thinking of having Mark build me one but I knew if I stuck it on his list it would be months and months before it was finished...not because he's slow, he just has so much other stuff to work on.

I hope he can make one for you!

I hope so too! He likes that kinda stuff and if I get a plan and the glass, he wil probably do one for us and for mom!

Totally cool.. so it is inside the house?? Neat!! I would love to have one, but I have outside cats.

Yep, technically the birds are eating inside your house!!!

I had a Carolina Wren literally inside my house the other day. I was sitting on my porch with the front door open. My wife excitedly called for me to come in the house. Somehow, a Carolina Wren had sneaked passed me (they're good at that)and was sitting on the back of the couch. It then flew into the kitchen. When I went to the kitchen to get a look it flew through the living room and out the front door again. It's welcome to come back for Tea anytime.

Is your wife a bird enthusiast like you are Thorny?????
