The window I want to place this on has a patio awning that hangs over it. Would the awning deter birds from visiting?

I'm sure the birds will visit despite the awning. It might take them a bit longer to discover the feeder though. I recommend filling the feeder with black oil sunflower seeds (which is a delightful treat for birds) to help them find it faster.

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.

I wouldn't think so. Birds go under my deck all the time to build nests and feed babies.

No I don't think so. The side that diverts the birds away from the window would be facing into your room if you put them on the inside. They need to be on the outside.

It needs to go on the outside. However, note that these did not work for cardinals attacking my windows. It made no difference.

It should - you can adjust the spring mechanism. If the doves are getting in, just make it more sensitive. Ours keeps out grackles (medium-sized bird).

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.

I have mine covering a 16 x 25 foot chicken enclosure and have had no problems. It is pretty strong and should keep them out.

Yes, it will adhere securely as long as the window is cleaned first so there is no dust or dirt that would prevent a secure attachment. The bird feeder can hold more than one bird at a time. I regularly find two birds in the feeder, while two more wait on the roof.

I purchased the hawk to keep birds out of our garden. It worked well. I am hoping over the winter that it will keep the crows/birds off of our winter pool cover.

The bird spike sections are "springy" so if you have any edges you can tension mount the sections, whole or cut, between the edges. I used them that way under eaves, and then have performed well.

They need to be applied to the exterior of the window so the proper side that the birds see is out. The window needs to be cleaned before applying.

The mesh is 1/4 inch. It would certainly keep any bird out, but if you are using the balcony a larger mesh, such as 3/4 inch, may be preferable.

It is apparent Stuff It can be easily wrapped around most anything as it comes in a roll and the material is kind of springy, airy, bright copper in cokor. I used it to get rid of the birds that had been filling the channel in my overhead awning on my deck. The Stuff it has a reflective quality and birds don't like that when the sun hits it. After having a piece of PVC pipe put in the awning channel and repeatedly removing the nesting material which the birds rigorously put in the small spaces left around the channel. The pipe did prevent the birds from being able to build an nest but not from putting as much nesting material as possible into any space they could find. In order to disuade the birds from coming around at all, the stuff it has worked this summer and I have been bird nest free for about 3 months. No poop on the deck railings either. It did help that the birds were desperate to build a nest as bird hatching got closer and I took preventitive measures to make sure that did not happern. The Stuff It was just pushed into any area ariound the pipe where it would fit. Hope this helps.

I also have a low eave where I mounted mine - which is just outside my sliding door out to my raised deck. The unit has the ability to adjust the angle of the decline of the awning. I have mine adjusted midway because I don't want it to be too close to my grill while, at the same time, allowing a light rain to run off of it if I don't remember to roll it up.

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.

The roof on the window bird feeder protects it from the elements. I keep mine up all year round regardless of snow or rain.

I doubt it but can't answer this for sure. Would you not be putting them up higher than your dog might be? The noise is not loud and now because birds don't come there, I never hear it anyway Don

Absolutely. You can extend this awning any distance. We often have it open only a few feet to shade the patio doors.
