74405 Songbird One Way Mirror Window Bird Feeder

I've only had this up for about a week, but it's already fantastic. It holds a good amount of food, so it doesn't need to be filled up often. The birds can enter and exit the feeder area easily and started using it the day after I put it up. The viewing area is perfectly sized. The suction cups are very heavy duty and stick very well. 2 days after putting the feeder up we had some really had storms with damaging wind, rain and hail. The feeder stuck it out through all of it and the seeds weren't even damp! The one way mirror works perfectly, my cats can have their nose right on the window and the birds have no idea. I have already recommended this to several of my cat loving friends and will continue to do so for anyone who likes to bird watch!

I bought it when I moved to this new area. I was wondering, "Where are the birds?" I have an indoor cat who loves to watch them. He doesn't like to scare them. He just really enjoys watching movement outside in my past homes. Since it's snowy winter here, I've been using only sunflower seeds, and this bird feeder attracts a lot of different birds. They're comfortable with me walking up to the window. It did take me 2 weeks however, to get the right bird seed and a snow storm for a steady flow of birds to find the feeder. Now that they know it's there, they keep coming back. I have a suet feeder as well, but they tend to prefer this window feeder over the suet.

This could be my fault, but I assumed that the one way mirror was an actual one way mirror. Not a film that I would have to attach to the plastic that was merely translucent from both sides. Haven't actually tried it out as a bird feeder because the lid is cut badly and doesn't really fit on the plastic base. Pretty much unusable.

First off, it is a $35 piece of low grade plastic. That being said, IT DOESN'T WORK!!!!! The bird feeder is held up by (2) suction cups. I tried multiple times on multiple windows to get them to stick, to no avail. I requested a refund and a prepaid return label due to the defective nature and/or inherently poor design of this bird feeder. Customer service at Ozbo's response: "We are very sorry,there are many reasons why a suction cup would let loose. Because a speck of dirt or a dry area can cause this we would not consider the item itself to be defective."I am not an idiot. I was not born yesterday. I know how to clean a F*&#$^* window and attach a GD suction cup. I am a mechanical engineer, this is not rocket science. I think I can figure it out.Ozbo's returns and exchanges policy, number 3, "If you are returning item(s) because they are damaged, defective or received the wrong item, please contact Ozbo and we’ll provide a prepaid return label"Q: How does this get attached to the window?A: By two suction cupsQ: After cleaning the window properly and following all install instructions, did the bird feeder stay attached to the window?A: No, it repeatedly lost its suction in the cup and fell to the ground, spilling all the seedQ: Is that considered a defect?A: Apparently not to Ozbo.SAVE THE MONEY AND DON'T BUY THIS CHEAP PIECE OF GARBAGE. Especially with a company that won't stand behind their own motto: "At Ozbo, we stand behind our products, our service and you, our loyal customer". HAH! No loyalty here. You lost me for life and any friends and family. All for - what $8 worth of postage?Good day.

Not as big as I thought but I didn't read the specifications. Pretty cool though. I recommend it but pricey for what you get.

I wasn't sure the birds would trust coming to where they always see us in our breakfast room, but was I WRONG. So many birds. All sorts. This was a fantastic present, and has worked out monumentally. I have looked many birds right in the eye as they are eating, and it is great. Definitely recommend, unless you want to get anything done with your day, because you will not if you get this. Hours of birdwatching. I'm doing it right now even.

I really love this and waited a couple of weeks to review it. I put a tiny bit of olive oil on the suction cups as some other reviewers have recommended and it hasn't budged an inch. The two-way mirror is a bit of a pain and never quite smooths out completely which is rough if you're a bit OCD like me. I also took other reviewers advice and used windex and smoothed it out as much as I could. The good news is my mirror has fallen off completely and my birds don't care! They don't care if I'm staring right at them. I'm giving it four stars for the mirror needing some improvements and also because you really need to get the sunflower chips if you're going to use this as the other bird seed won't flow through the side openings. I had to constantly go outside and knock the sides to get it to move. The chips are the perfect size. I actually saw a dove in mine the other day. It's so cool, I bought another one for my mother in law who is a fellow bird enthusiast!

Living up north, I waited for a sunny day (temp was around 25 deg. F) to apply to my window. followed the instrctions exactly, and have not had any problems. The feeder has been on the window for about a month, has adhered to the window even filled with seed and several birds perched on the ledge. It took a few days for the birds to find it, but they are enjoying the feeder as much as I enjoy watching them.
