This handmade window bird feeder gives you the chance to see birds up close and personal! Hang one on a window in your dining area, kitchen, living room, bedroom, or office so that you can bring the outside in!
The feeder has been handcrafted almost entirely from Western red cedar, a wood that is naturally resistant to bugs and decay. The shingled roof has a piece of ¼” plywood to serve as the substrate for the cedar shingles. The feeding tray has drainage holes to allow water to drain. The back is completely open other than the hanging bar, providing an unobstructed view when birds are feeding. The angled roof and overhang keep the feed dry during moderate rainfall, and it also prevents birds from perching on top and defecating on the roof. The front ledge is perfectly sufficient for small to medium-sized birds to land and feed, while keeping away larger birds like starlings. Window mounting also prevents problems with squirrels trying to steal the feed as the feeder is usually inaccessible to squirrels and other rodents if mounted on a window away from ledges, branches, etc...
Feeder dimensions are as follows:
• Total Width: 12”
• Inside Width: 11"
• Total Height: ~10” at highest point
• Feeding Tray: 11" x 1 ¾” x ¾”
The feeder will be finished using a combination of exterior grade transparent cedar stain and exterior paint in your choice of color. These finishes enhance the appearance and make the feeder resistant to the weather and sun.
*Note – the wood is semi-rough sawn cedar so the surfaces will not be perfectly smooth. There will be natural rough spots, indentations, and some wood grain may show through the painted surfaces.
The roof will be finished in cedar tone stain unless you choose the “unfinished” option. The body will be finished in your choice of the following paint colors:
• Unfinished (no surfaces are painted or stained, raw cedar only)
• Wildflower Blue
• Claret Wine Red
• Hunter Green
• Canyon Black
• Ink Blue
• Cedar Stain (choose this option if you want the entire feeder to be stained)
The feeder includes two (2) mounting hooks to be used in mounting. These work well to hold the lightweight feeder. They are more durable than suction cups and can be easily replaced should they fail. When cleaning or filling the tray with feed, simply lift the feeder off the hooks and replace when done.
*Please note that all pictures are from a model unit. Bird feed is not included with the feeder. Every feeder is slightly different and unique due to differences in the grain, color, and texture of the cedar used for that particular feeder.

Returns are not accepted, but please contact me if you have any issues with your order.
Mount your new feeder using the included hooks. Choose a clean, smooth surface for mounting (i.e. windows, smooth siding, etc...) Firmly attach the hooks to the mounting surface by peeling off the film on the back of the hooks to reveal the adhesive. Place on your window at approximately 8-9 inches apart and level. It is recommended that you wait an hour before hanging the feeder. Removing the hooks and then applying them to another area will compromise their strength so try to choose a good spot the first time. Hang your feeder after an hour, add feed, relax and wait for your birds to show! ;) Please keep in mind that it may take a while for birds to find your new feeder. Be patient - if you hang it, they will come!
Thank you and enjoy!
