Will the bird feeder adhere securely in the winter weather ? Has anyone had a problem with suction cups falling off? Thank you for your time.

I have had mine up for a few weeks, it has not moved. It snowed where I live last night and still is stuck fast on the window. This seems, so far, like a very sturdy product.

I am returning the one I ordered. I couldn't get the suction cups to fit the opening properly. Also, it attracted many more squirrels than birds. The squirrels would jump off the roof above the window where the feeder was placed and land on the top of the feeder. They loved it, I didn't.

Yes, it will adhere securely as long as the window is cleaned first so there is no dust or dirt that would prevent a secure attachment. The bird feeder can hold more than one bird at a time. I regularly find two birds in the feeder, while two more wait on the roof.

This is the coldest it's been in CT in years...so far this has stayed on our window for three months through sleet and snow with no problems!

Having no trouble with it sticking to the window. Had it on the window for 5 months and maybe a bird would go in it for a few seconds and then fly away. I was disappointed it is so small. Two birds can not fit in the feeder at once. I think the birds are afraid of the confined feeling, and they are scared to go in and eat the seeds. If I put some seeds on top of the feeder some will come and eat but they won't go in. Hope this helps someone.

As long as your window is clean and you get a good suction you should be fine! We have had a few "hard frosts" already this year and have no problems so far :)

Don't have that problem, but it does take birds a few days or a week before they use a new feeder. Perhaps if u r sitting on the porch it scares them away. First put feeder on a branch and slowly bring to porch. They don't like traffic. I have it hanging outside my kit window when I do dishes. They seem to like it under the overhang. Be patient. Parent birds r nesting Good luck. Oh and make sure the see isn't moldy. I opened up a new bag and it was all moldy. The whole shipment was

No problem... It has a plastic insert-it might get slightly wet, but the birds don't seem to mind. I live in PA if that helps & I've had this feeder for several seasons & it's the best I've owned.

Yes, I really like this feeder, we have had some high winds this winter and it has kept the food in it. I also put a hood over the top to keep the food dryer the birds all seem to like it!

I have mine mounted where they get sun a lot of the day, and slightly wet when it rains. Had for almost 2 seasons with no problems. I do take them down in winter, but that are up for atleast 8 months a year.

I would mount with screws. If you live where it snows the suction cups will fall off.

We live in the desert & haven't had any precipitation yet, so I can't answer your question, however, I am very pleased with the design and quality of this feeder. The roof doesn't extend as far as our old feeder, and it took a few days for the birds to start using it. I would definitely recommend this feeder and am well pleased with it.

It is winter so I am not using mine at the moment. I think the little knob at the top has a button to loosen it up. You push the button and put the knob as close to the top as possible. when you release the button it locks in place. I'm not 100% sure this is correct. I will not be getting to my feeder until after the snow melts.

Here in Sequim, WA, we don't get snow like MN, but we already got dumped on twice this year. Neither time did the birdseed freeze, or perhaps, the double paned window kept the AWCH slightly warmer. Currently, our temps. are in the upper 30's, and birds are feeding round the clock. One suggestion, since the lower house portion, slides SO easily out from the roof portion affixed to the glass, is to simply bring it in during the night, and remount it when the sun comes up. That's just another beauty of this feeder---all parts snap apart for dismantle and easy cleaning. Good Luck!! K

This feeder has a coated plastic hanging device so it does not sit on top of anything. It only hangs. It is not a bad feeder as mine has lasted all summer without problems but if you have it near limbs squirrels could get into it and pull the cover off because the plastic type holder can be moved easily. For the money it is a good buy but it is not to be confused with glass or very sturdy feeders. I like it because it serves a purpose but if I was looking for something very sturdy this would not be it.

I have not installed mine yet because we had so much snow I couldn't get to the window. I purchased the sheet to put on the window first so you can see everything but that can't see you moving around. I don't know about the suction cups and how long they last. I will just have to put the box up and then see how it goes. Don't know how to replace them either. Time will tell I guess. Most suction cups should last longer than a year I would think. Hope this helps.

I am not sure what kind of bird feeders you are planning to use, but I used my 'suction cup window hanger for birds' on my picture window last spring through fall, and it worked great! I will be using it again this year to hang my hummingbird feeders. With the three suction cups, it gives it more holding power. I highly recommend it.

Regrets, but I haven't owned it during a Winter. I have other feeders but unfortunately don't know of any that can feed cardinals but not jays/grackles. In fact I sometimes get a flock of crows which chase everything else away except maybe the squirrels. I think the seed might get wet depending on the angle of the rain and where the feeder is placed -- trees might protect it. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Good luck!

We installed ours about 2 months ago. It has lasted through several thunder storms with winds over 50 mph. It is still in great shape and it has not dropped a feeder. I am very impressed and glad to have spent the additional for it.

I kept mine out over the winter. We had a couple of heavy snowstorms. Not a problem. As far as rain, airtight so far -- have had it about a year.

It is a bit heavy, I hung it on a strong pole. However I have to say, my birds didn't go near it. Also Not so crazy about the pooping in the little bowls potential. Must note that in Winter my birds didn't seem to give a dang about water sources. However now that things have warmed up they are visiting my two Birdbaths.
