Will this effect my birds?

I have no idea as I don't have birds. It does not effect our dog. That's the only "other pet" experience I have.

anything that passes in front of the red beam will set the machine off. Whether or not your birds will be able to hear the sound, i have no idea. Humans cannot hear it. If dogs could hear it, i would think they would call it "animal scram" and not "catscram" so i doubt that your birds will hear it, but don't know for sure.

The smaller birds (finches,sparrows ) monopolize my feeder while the towhees, scrub jays, doves and other larger birds feed on the stuff that falls on the ground. I guess it just depends on the dynamics of the birds you have.

yes. they try to hold on, but are too heavy, so lose interest quickly. These feeders are specifically for smaller birds because of this. My goldfinch, wrens, even cardinals feed from it.

You might have to contact the maker. It's not toxic to birds. It is a hard flat black finish.

I just put them on and they look clear to me but they say that the birds see them in color. They seem to have helped a little but I still get birds hitting my windows. Not as much as last year but still putting holes in the screens.

I don't know. We used our feeder for only a month, before the birds migrated.

Heat should not effect these they are made of stainless steel and the base is plastic. I would think that whatever adhesive you use to attach these would fail long before anything happens to them. Regardless of whatever kind of climate you are in it will not affect how these work. They are intended to make a uncomfortable place for birds to land.

That depends on what animal are you talking about, I know that it will affect a dog, but other large animals I am not sure.

I've only seen a head bump while feeding. I read that you don't have to worry about birds flying into your windows and dying because they slow down before they land so even if they do hit the windown, it's more of a bump and not a crash.

I imagine that they will nibble the leaves that poke through, but we used this as a bird deterrent. Worked great for birds.

No you should be fine. I have many large birds that hang out on my feeder all day long and enjoying eating:))

Many titmouses, cardinals, chickadees....regular run of the mill birds......all kinds ! Have no idea what your problem is! Maybe something is scaring them away from your feeder.....movement.....

Shelled, probably so. Birds will have to work harder to pull the peanuts out.

To be honest I don't know. It has been well below -30 degrees here for weeks at a time and the bird bath still worked although the birds were in no mood to bathe then. :) I keep my bird bath close to the house and out of the wind so maybe that helps? Also make sure you have the proper power cord with it. Good luck!!

I have no clue how it affects rats but it works well on the birds in So. Texas.

I started using Harrison's at the advice of the small animal vet, so I'm afraid I don't know the answer. Perhaps you could contact Harrison's directly to ask them? Phone numbers listed at this site: http://www.harrisonsbirdfoods.com/support/ Hope your bird does well!

OK Zen, this took me about 1 Minute to find and while it doesn't directly answer your question, it also doesn't point out any abnormal issues regarding resin/plastic birdbaths," http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/notes/BirdNote09_ProvideWater.pdf " Please let us know if your search uncovers any downsides to resin birdbaths.
