Small Yard? No Yard? No Problem!
Even if your house has the smallest of yards, backyard birding shouldn’t be out of the question. Attracting songbirds does not need to be a complicated task requiring huge spaces. Window bird feeders are a great place to start. Once discovered, songbirds will return daily for treats you offer them.
A myriad of these window feeders are available for birdseed, nectar, mealworms, and suet. These are some favorite foods of Chickadees, Nuthatches, Titmice, Cardinals, Hummingbirds, Orioles, Bluebirds and more. You can even offer fruit and any possible mixture with a window platform-type feeder. Blue Jays and Woodpeckers really go for peanuts on this one. Some window nectar feeders for hummingbirds feature removable lids for offering seed mixes in winter time. In-house window feeders will virtually bring birds right into your home!
Aside from just attracting birds, window bird feeders offer fabulous views of your feathered friends. A great educational item for children as well, once you start the birding hobby…it’s addictive! Entice wild birds to your yard with feeders, houses, and a fresh water source. Small birdbaths will do a phenomenal job at attracting more species of birds to your place too.
Whether the groundhog sees his shadow or not, you can sit back in the comfort of your living room or den and enjoy the promise of spring through feathered friends. With a platform type in window bird feeder, a whole new dimension to backyard birding is seen.
First, the birds come to you. Instead of heading to the window, or grabbing binoculars, birds head right into your room! One-way mirrors in most window feeders allow you to view birds without disturbing them too.
Second, the platform offers the advantage of variety. You’ll be able to attract more species by feeding different foods. Any seed mixes will work, as well as fruit, suet, peanuts, or meal worms.

Tiny yard, or no yard at all?
Going from a house with a nice yard to an apartment can be tough, you start missing the “green” and nature that’s always been taken for granted. But you can still enjoy feeding and watching feathered friends with a window bird feeder.

The platform window feeder shown here is great for offering a variety of treats along with birdseed. Feed fruit, suet, peanuts or meal worms to attract even more species of birds.

On the checkout page, there’s an option for a message if the item is a gift. So I was delighted and a bit astounded to actually see the note “Happy 100th Birthday!”
Yes, Roland is turning 100, and it seems he likes window bird feeders. A gift from five women friends - now I’m thinking this guy must be cool! They say he loves to sit and watch his birds.
For seniors, a great gift idea indeed! Do they really need more stuff to clutter their spaces? Or more clothes just to sit around the house? Bird watching keeps the mind active, and the interaction with nature has an amazingly positive effect on whatever ails the mind. More and more senior centers and assisted living residences realize this fact and have started using bird feeders to enhance the lives of their residents.
Happy 100th Roland…and many more!
