Do birds feed on both sides?

Yes... and each side is adjustable to set the wgt for closing the feeder openings for the size of birds you want to feed. I set one side for light wgt and the other for heavier birds.

yes , so do the squirrels. So mix liquid red pepper with the seed for one or two times. Squirrels learn fast and they stop eating the hot seed after a short while . No affect on birds. Just be careful with the pepper stuff- its not human safe. When u wash out a bowl after mixing it with seed, hold ur breath when u wash the bowel of else u'll be coughing. ron

Yes. The only birds that cannot so far are doves and crows. A single bulebird can also feed but there cannot be more than one on a perch. It really is squirrel proof.

I agree with the first comment. Cardinals can use the feeder, but seem to prefer a platform style feeder. I have seen them sitting on the ground under the Squirrel Solutions Feeder waiting for another bird to spill seed onto the ground!

If it is hug correctly they are too heavy, they still eat what the other birds throw on the ground. If you have a number of wrens and sparrows they empty the feeders pretty quick. It still is funny to watch the squirrels try with out success.

The two side holes are individual. The top and bottom holes go to one space. I have House Wrens that moved into mine but they only use the conjoined top and bottom holes. It is a beautiful bird house though :)

Only if you place the tree on the left...but the birds would be flying TOWARDS the tree... The tree and the birds are separate

Cardinals manage to feed, and, with trial and error, doves occasionally manage to feed (safflower seeds, which squirrels supposedly don't like). Blue jays seem to have a tough go with it. Red wing blackbirds less so. All the same, chickadees, titmice, nuthatches, etc., are what usually perch.

No they do not. Took little while for small birds to use feeder but use it all the time now.

Yes!! I have bought two of these feeders and love them. I'll buy a third one in the fall.

No, it is a single sided feeder. The double sided feeders use springs to add or subtract tension to the anti squirrel bar. This single sided feeder uses a steel counter weight. At any rate, I like this feeder. Very durable and entertaining.

Yes. I have this feeder filled with sunflower seeds and another filled with regular bird seed and they definitely prefer this one. I see a lot of cardinals and wood p_eckers too.

The window bird feeder does not come with a 2-way mirror, but you don't need one. The birds will soon become accustomed to seeing people on the other side of the window. I have been very close to the window taking photographs of the birds eating on the other side and as long as you don't make sudden moves, the birds seem to feel comfortable enough to stay and feed. Since the feeder is very open, birds can fly away easily if they want.

Both sides. Great product. Our squirrels were very unhappy with this as were the doves.

The tension adjustments are on both sides of the feeder-two for each perch. They need to be in the sane position for each side

Yes they work on both sides, there is NO left and right, they are the same on both sides.

Yes, the feeder is identical on both sides and the ends (suet baskets) are identical too.

No. My feeder has the holes, however I get an occasional oriole at the feeder. Not sure much they can eat but they do come back.
