Sturdy with large suction cups. It has a soft footed perch for the birds and a removable seed tray for easy cleaning or filling. Appreciate that it came with an extra suction cup!

We bought this feeder a year ago, and it's still going strong. We live in Nebraska and it has lasted throughout the winter. Withstands strong winds as well. We have it placed on a second floor east-facing window that is 20 ft. or less from a row of large and tall trees. It did not take too long for the birds to find the feeder, maybe 2-3 weeks. Once they found it they've never stopped coming over. We've had a large variety of birds visit, with the #1 customers being the House Finches.

We've had:
- House Finches
- Northern Cardinals
- Baltimore Orioles
- Black-Capped Chickadees
- House Sparrows
- Red-Bellied Woodpeckers
- American Goldfinch
- Brown-Headed Cowbirds
- Doves
- Common Grackles

"¢ Suction cups are very powerful and last through rain and snow. I have seen two heavy doves on it and still going strong.
"¢ Cleaning your feeder constantly is important. Birds do make a mess that sticks to the window, blocking your clean view from the hole in the middle.

We did make a few changes/additions to our feeder. We changed the rubber rod to a wooden one, and we added two wooden perches to the top on the sides, because birds were perching there anyways, but having trouble staying on the plastic.

Tips: if you haven't had any luck getting birds to your feeder, you may have the wrong feed. Do some research of what birds are already common in your area and what those birds eat. Change your feed to attract them. We didn't have Orioles initially. I put out some fruit (small clementines cut in half) and they came immediately. We didn't have Chickadees initially. We added some peanut butter+seed mix (small balls we made ourselves with peanut butter, a bit of flour, and the small seeds we already had) and they came immediately. Most birds favorite is peanuts, but we find the Grackles love them too.

- Try Black-oil Sunflower seeds to attract most birds, or Hulled Sunflower for less mess.
- I haven't tried it, but I hear Safflower is best if you want to deter the black birds and the squirrels.
- Peanuts in the shell will attract big birds like the Blue Jays, but also the Grackles.
- Shelled peanuts will attract a lot of birds, but Grackles as well.
- Fresh fruit or dried fruit, especially orange citrus fruits will get you the Orioles.
- No one really cares for the White Proso Millet or Red Proso Millet, they are always the last seeds left on there.

*About the Blue Jays. They are definitely attracted to the feeder. I see them trying to land on it, but they fail to do so and they give up. It's not a matter of the feeder being too small for them, since I've seen the other pictures in the reviews where the Blue Jays fit in the feeder. I think maybe the Jays over here aren't as brave, since the Red-Bellied Woodpecker can do it, and he's about the same size.

I love my new birdfeeder from Nature Gear. It is completely clear so that I can see out of my window when there are no birds on the feeder. I particularly like the seed tray that I can pull out, flll, and put back in without having to disturb the rest of the feeder. Thank you!

We all enjoy this product. It's awesome to see the different kinds of birds that come.

We ordered 2 of these feeders to replace another brands feeder whose design kept falling off of our windows. These feeders are well designed and stay on our windows, even with larger birds. The feeding tray is so easy to remove to fill and replace. We love being able to watch the colorful birds through our windows and these feeders!
