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!

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.

@@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!

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?

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

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

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

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!

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?
@FrederickDunn8 ай бұрын
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.

@@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. :)

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. 🤷

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

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.
@FrederickDunn6 ай бұрын
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".

Can you still lock the window?
@FrederickDunn7 ай бұрын
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.
