I have been thinking about putting up a window feeder, but don't want the birds to accidentally get hurt on the windows, this decal seems like a good,

Actually these decals really work, in fact I just bought all new windows and need to replace the ones I had.

The decals work very well in keeping the birds from hitting the window for the most part. If your feeder is attached to the window or extremely close you may not need them. The birds fly toward the window when they are startled and because they see the window reflection of the yard in the background they fly toward the window. If the feeder is next to the window the birds will not have enough flight speed to hurt themselves. But the decals do help to a great degree with our set up since our feeders are 15 feet from the kitchen window. You have to put several decals on the window to work properly. Hope this helps.

I bought it a while ago and it works very well, much better than the traditional black decals which keep falling off.

I am sorry I don't have a very good answer. I gave it to my daughter for Christmas. She has it up but so far no birds. Hoping for spring nesters.She thinks it could get noisy if it were in a bedroom because it is right up against the window..and there would be lots of chirping from baby birds.I guess it depends how sensitive you would be to that kind of noise.I think it would be a lot of fun to watch.Sorry I can't be of more help.

It's actually a glaze not a paint so I think it will last until I break it? It is beautiful and the birds love it!

If applied properly to a clean window, you should have no problems with the decal.

Having no trouble with it sticking to the window. Had it on the window for 5 months and maybe a bird would go in it for a few seconds and then fly away. I was disappointed it is so small. Two birds can not fit in the feeder at once. I think the birds are afraid of the confined feeling, and they are scared to go in and eat the seeds. If I put some seeds on top of the feeder some will come and eat but they won't go in. Hope this helps someone.

I have it on my wall but I never thought about putting it on a window... That's a good idea actually! I think it would look nice but would it stick?? Not sure.. Would humidity affect it?? I hope it works for you.

Definitely. I use mine to keep birds away from my patio. A friend thought it was real from a distance. It's been out all winter long and still looks brand new.

The birds will still visit the window bird feeder, but it might take them a little bit longer to find it due to the awning. Once one finds it, others will quickly follow.

We use an open feeder, looks like a swing. The birds love it. We have song birds, blue birds and sparrows. We hang it from a tree branch, they like this as it gives them cover.

It seems to be woking for me. I have a wooden glider and the birds would sit on the top and their droppings would cover the top and fall through to the seats. I hung one owl from the canopy. It swings in the breeze and the colors are quite reflective as it does. It works pretty good.

Currently, we are hanging it on a double sided shepherd's hook, however, we are going to be moving it as the squirrels can get into it very easy. We did buy the suggested baffle, but the birds didn't seem to like that. What we are going to do is get wider gauge piping of some kind that will make it difficult for the squirrels to climb. This is a great feeder, and the birds are very attracted to it. We were amazed by the variety of birds it brought in. Our problem were the squirrels....but that is not uncommon with any feeder.

The birds that come to my feeders drink from this ALOT. I see several per day, every day. I clean it every few days with a special sponge and brush for cleaning bird feeders, and then I refill it with the hose. As other writers have said, don't let it get dirty. Not only will that keep away the birds, but it could also make the bird population sick. Second, make sure it is high enough, and in a tree or close to one. They need to feel safe. I recommend posting it on a 4x4 pole, because when it's windy this thing swings alot, and the water flies out. And keep it near your feeders.

Yes, that would be a good idea. It is VERY easy to take off to clean, just lift it off the three suction cupped hooks. If it gets rain in it, the cardinals in my area still come around, but I clean it out every couple of times I refill it anyway. I fill a paper cup with seed and put it in the feeder. I love this product and it has brought many cardinals. I use a cardinal specific seed (sunflower seeds) and since it is at my front window I tap it to chase away a morning dove that keeps trying to see what the cardinals are doing.

I have these hanging on my house as well as on a pole, they are cute and draw the birds nicely. I have used sunflower, safflower and plain wild bird seed in these little feeding balls and all three work fine...I imagine if you hang them and just put wild bird seed mix in it you will see an assortment of birds visiting...good luck!:)

I have the Coveside panoramic feeder. There is no finish that I see on mine. They have kept it quite natural. I have other types of window feeders and the same with those also. If you were to put certain finishes on it, it might make the birds sick. I'm happy with mine. My older window feeder has been in the window for probably 5 years or more and no damage to that wood either. You will be happy, I'm sure.

It has stayed up on the window. Mom thinks that perhaps it got up too late for the birds this year. I think it will work. I had a birdhouse in the back of my house and it took 2 years before I could get a "renter". Hope that helps!

It goes on easily with no mess but I used it over my front door and it worked and while the bird stopped building her nest everything else, bugs,leaves etc. adhered to it. My painter had to use a putty knife to remove it.
