Perky-Pet 349 K-Feeder Window Wild Bird Feeder



I'm not a birder!  At least I don't think I am, but I do enjoy watching the birds at my feeder.   This little feeder adheres to a window.  I put it at a window that hopefully will allow me to see the birds close up and personal.   The feeder assembled easily.  It has accessories that make it either a sunflower seed dispenser or thistle dispenser.   It sticks to the window with suction cups.  Frankly I was somewhat amazed that it actually stuck.  My experience with suction cups has been less than stellar.   However we have had some surprisingly wide temperature variations, a down pour, a thunderstorm and wind and it is still sticking to the window.  That's all the good news.  The bad is that so far the birds have shown no interest in the feeder.  Hopefully that will change.  
Later: I moved this to about six feet from the stand alone feeder.  I have yet to see a bird on it after six weeks.  

From the vendor:
Mother Nature offers a wonderful way to relax and be present in the moment. From the melodic sounds of songbirds to spectacular close-up sightings of a variety of wild birds, this window-mounted K-Feeders bird feeder by Perky-Pet brings the fascinating display right to your window.

Attract everything from chickadees, finches, goldfinches, grosbeaks, juncos, and kinglets to nuthatches, redpolls, siskins, sparrows, titmice, woodpeckers, and wrens.

Pick Your Favorite Place
Choose a window where you'll enjoy watching the birds flock to your feeder the most, whether it's a window in the kitchen or one in the living room that you can gaze out while relaxing in a recliner. From identifying the different types of birds to simply watch them perch and feast, the K-Feeders window bird feeder offers bird lovers of all ages a wonderful way to watch wild birds.

Details:
.75 lb. seed capacity and 2 feeding stations
Dispenses either sunflower/mixed seed or thistle seed
Suction cups stick directly to window for strong hold
Durable polycarbonate components
Slide-out seed barrel for easy filling and cleaning
Designed and constructed to last a lifetime

2 Dispensing Options
Depending on the type of birds you want to attract, assemble your feeder to dispense either sunflower seed or thistle seed. You'll use the sunflower ports when dispensing sunflower seed, including safflower seed, sunflower hearts, and black oil sunflower seed, and the thistle ports with the wooden perch when dispensing thistle. Simple step-by-step instructions are included for both dispensing options.

Simple Window-Mounted Set Up
After cleaning the window thoroughly, attach the mounting roof to the window using the built-in suction cups. Then fill the seed barrel with up to 0.75 pounds of seed and slide it onto the tracks on the lower side of the roof. For convenience, the seed barrel can be easily removed to fill or clean while the roof remains mounted to the window.

A feeding port and perch on either side of the feeder means double the action when it comes to birds feeding right on the other side of your window.


Durably Built for Life-Long Use
Constructed with durable polycarbonate components, the K-Feeders bird feeder resists squirrel damage, corrosion, and breakage. In addition, the feeder's strong suction cups ensure a secure hold, while its transparent seed barrel makes it simple to monitor seed levels at a glance. Perky-Pet recommends cleaning the feeder every two weeks to ensure the birds are receiving the freshest seed supply.

If reviewing a product, it may have been received free of charge. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me. However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You ...

Troy-Bilt 2700 PSI 2.3 GPM Gas Pressure Washer Review

Troy-Bilt 2700 PSI 2.3 GPM Gas Pressure Washer Review Item #: 75140 | Model #: 20414 When I started this blog, I assumed I would be only talking tech. Well that led to philosophic musing and then comments on other stuff. I’m not sure where a pressure washer fits but regardless I am writing about it. I was power washing the mildew off the siding and thought the odor was the detergent I was using. When I looked over my shoulder and saw the grey smoke pouring out of the pressure washer, I realized what the odor really was. Considering the age of my venerable electric power washer, I concluded that discretion being the better part of safety and how water and electricity don’t play well, I trashed my old power washer. After much research, I found the Troy-Bilt 20414 was the best bang for the buck I could find. Keep in mind I am a consumer, not some testing house, so I make my purchases based on research and price point. I wanted electric but my boys who participated in the purchase, ...

3D Printing—Way, Way Cool

You may not be familiar with the term 3D printing but I bet you remember the replicator from Star Trek. Well kiddies, it is no longer just science fiction. Replication exists! Analog Science Fiction and Fact had a great article in the November 2008 edition called: “The 3D Train Wreck”. Thomas A. Easton, the author gave a great overview of the future of 3D printing. Simplistically, take your 3 dimensional CAD drawing and print it out on a laser printer that will print layers with some type of raw material. Each layer is adhered to the previous layer until you have a full three dimensional finished product. There are a variety of existing technologies that are doing this right now. Rapid-prototyping in industry is the biggest market right at the moment. Consider how incredibly convenient it would be to fabricate or replicate things right at home. My Polaris pool sweep needed a part yesterday. The part is unavailable, without the part the sweep doesn’t work. The alternative was to buy a...
