I am concerned about birds flying into the window. Have other purchasers had this problem?

I've never had a bird fly into the window using this bird feeder so I think your concern can be laid to rest. This is the most fun we've had in a long time to be able to watch the birds so close up. One thing you might want to know if you haven't had a feeder like this before, it takes a while for the birds to find it. Once they do, be sure you have bird feed on hand because they really like it.

Yes, it happens about once a day ! Sometimes momentarily stuns the bird, but then it flies away and it doesn't hurt the windows ! They come back for more and we really enjoy watching them fight over the food !

I've only seen a head bump while feeding. I read that you don't have to worry about birds flying into your windows and dying because they slow down before they land so even if they do hit the windown, it's more of a bump and not a crash.

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.

No, I haven't had any proems at all. We love to bird watch and these have been phenomenal.

I have to parakeets in mine, they like sliding down the wires. I have had no issues.

I wouldn't know since the bird house I purchased did not stay up on the window due to bad suction cups. After my experience with the bird house, I decided that it's a bad product and not safe for birds. Instead, I am enjoying watching birds go in and out of a standard bird house.

We have had ours up since April and have had some activity, but not inside the box where it should be. I bird built a nest on the top of the box, kind of funny. He was a larger bird so I am sure they could not get inside the house. Other then that nothing inside, hoping for some activity next spring.

It doesn't affect the birds...I use minds to warn off rabbits and squirrels...the birds still come within the area where the boxes covers...

This is a great product. I love seeing the birds through our kitchen window, and we have two so we really have a good time when it's time for them to head south. I haven't had any problems with mine. The suction cup works, the tabs are fine, so I'm not sure what happened with the ones who gave it bad reviews. I would not only recommend it, I have purchased some for family members, who also love them.

I just put these (mine are owls) up and so far they haven't worked keeping the blackbirds out of my trees. don't phase them a bit. I know I got them up late so will try again next year.

I would say the chances are very good that the blue birds will not make it into this house before other small birds. We put up a different kind, and had BLUEBIRDS the next day. Put this one same day, and husband cleaned it out 2 times because of the other small birds. He finally just gave up and let them have it this year.

I have not had any birds crash into the window where I have the feeder. I have had birds fly into our 12ft. slider at another location where they see the reflection of the TV. It sounds like your female may be on the dense side so matter what you do, she would probably crash into your window feeder or not! I feel bad for her, too!

We have not had a problem with this. We have several bird feeders in our yard, and this is a favorite. The cardinals love this feeder!

I don't think so. I don't have a feeder around and they still come on porch. Did have a bird fly into window, couple of times. It was more like it may have been going after insect than trying to fly through window, so not 100% sure if these work or not. Other than that bird, have not had issue.

Yes you view through your home window right into the bird house! No bird has even looked at mine I would place on a fence away from the window or use in a window were there is not much activity

You have to use your own judgment for your situation. I have them quite a distance apart - three or four on my sliding glass doors. You can judge by the places that show evidence that a bird has flown into the window.
