One draw back of a clear window bird feeder is that the birds can see movement from inside of the house so you take the chance of scaring the birds away. Some bird feeder window types are designed with a mirror panel for the feeder. If the mirror panel in a window feeder is only in the feeder space and the mirror does not block the rest of the window from the bird’s view you are still taking a chance of scaring the birds. As these are draw backs to window feeders they are still very desirable. So take the design into consideration when making your decision on which bird feeder window style you select.

your bird
feeder window
