Inside Window Bird Feeder by hiBirdie, Assembly and complete Review, wild birds INSIDE your house.

This is a novel way to observe wild birds. This feeder works with sash style double-hung windows.
Birds come into the room to feed, while you observe them through a transparent panel.
SAFETY FIRST: This requires you to open your window to accommodate the feeder. There are specially designed sash-locks that will secure your window. OR, consider removing the feeder and closing the window when you're not at home or at night.
SOURCE: This is where I got this feeder, there are many other variations on the market. This is not an affiliate link: hibirdie.com/products/window-...
LIGHTING: I added battery powered LED light wands to the sides so the children could see the feeding birds better, and it worked!
This is the light want that I used for this demonstration (affiliate link)

FEED FOR BLUEBIRDS: I found that by offering black soldier fly larvae, I can get Northern Bluebirds to come to the feeders. This is an affiliate link to the black soldier fly larvae that I use: amzn.to/3J51vsz
MOST DIVERSE FEED: You will attract the widest variety of songbirds with Black Oil Sunflower Seeds (affiliate link) amzn.to/4cHy4dQ
Save money and get some at Tractor Supply or your local garden store.

First! Hey Fred, looking forward to watching the video :) I Know it will be good 👍😁😎🐝 Have a great day Fred :)

[@FrederickDunn]

Grayson, you never cease to impress with your rapid keyboard responses! Happy Thursday! :)

If you add a mirror/privacy film, you can make it an one way mirror.

I'm writing this as I start this video. I almost bought this the other day and decided it was too new to take a chance on. This review may come in handy to help me decide!

[@FrederickDunn]

I understand there is quite a range in quality among these units, but there are plenty that work as described. I hope you get a good one. This one surprised me as I was prepared to have it fail on some level.

[@frederickorcutt9112]

@@FrederickDunn Just finished the video, great work! I have 6 and 7 year olds and I think they'd love to have this in their room. Luckily they like to read books so I could imagine them patiently hanging out while reading and really enjoying when birds pop in and out!

[@timan2039]

Three observation hives and now one observation bird feeder. I wonder, assuming someone plans to order one or so, if placing a bird feeder near the location prior to its arrival would speed up visitation?

[@mike-md]

Thanks Fred!!

[@FrederickDunn]

Thanks for watching :) I hope you enjoyed it :)

[@annwithaplan9766]

Nice. I'd been wondering about those types of feeders. Thanks.

[@FrederickDunn]

One of the grandsons is back today, he's never one to sit still until this feeder was installed. What an unexpected benefit. :)

[@MikeBiddle]

Since you love the Bluebirds, last year I discovered that Premium Finch Lovers Blend from 3D product at Walmart actually attracts Bluebirds here in Tennessee! They absolutely love it and I've had 3-4 bluebird on the feeder at one time!

[@FrederickDunn]

Hi Mike, what specifically do you see the Bluebirds eating from that mix? Thanks :)

[@morrishomesteadgirls]

Really great review and video Fred!

[@FrederickDunn]

Thank you!

[@theresamcpherson7352]

Thanks Fred!

You're welcome :)

[@Darren_Nicola]

Fantastic job 😀

[@FrederickDunn]

Thanks, Darren!

[@kennith.]

Thanks Fred.

[@tomahawkmissile241]

now it is time to hook up price is right mini tv and see if the birds spend more time like at the gas pumps

[@drcornelius8275]

Looks pretty nice! I wonder how it would work with one-way glass.

[@FrederickDunn]

You never know.

[@wmarclocher]

Wow, that looks great. I would love to have something like this. It would have to go in on a ground level window, and that makes me wonder if I will have more of a squirrel problem. While on the subject of indoor nature observation, do you have an opinion or thoughts on indoor observation bee hives? Particularly the BEEcosystem's indoor wall mountable beehives?

[@FrederickDunn]

ok, the only issue I had with the Beecosystem is their profound dishonesty as they attempted to promote their product. Photoshopped systems spreading across walls. Aside from that initial frustration, it's not a good design in my opinion. More cohesive units that are closer to 10 gallon spaces are far more useful for the bees. I'll end my complaints there.

[@wmarclocher]

@@FrederickDunn Thanks, it is tempting offer especially to beginners like wanting to get into bee keeping, but seems to be a recipe for disaster. I'll just keep dreaming of one day having an observation hive in the comfort of my home. :)

[@mdc47]

Just got mine in the mail. It came with weatherstripping and a separate role of tape and I'm not sure what the tape is for. It's not mentioned in the instructions or any videos I can find but it's pictured in the instruction packet. 🤷

[@FrederickDunn]

Maybe for weather proofing around the window? I have no idea.

[@mdc47]

@@FrederickDunn huh ok Thank you again for the video it's very helpful

[@hiih8u2]

Hiw did you keep the eindow down on top of the box ? It seems like my window didn't have enough pressure to keep it heald in well.

[@FrederickDunn]

That's going to be case by case, you can use double stick tape? I'm sure there are a lot of window differences, and some of their edging may be anti-stick which works well for window movement, but not for holding a feeder in well. Maybe a strip of soft rubber would give it more "grab".

[@anythingadrenaline4515]

Can you still lock the window?

[@FrederickDunn]

No, and that's on issue... you need to purchase an aftermarket lock for your sliding window casing. Or, you'd probably want to take it down overnight and reinstall during the day.
