Get this $25 window bird feeder to drive your cat nuts

By

If there’s one thing all cats love, it’s birds. Cats love to watch them, stalk them, and hunt them. Not many indoor cats get the opportunity to indulge their natural instincts nowadays, but they can still enjoy watching birds from inside your cozy home. To provide them (and yourself) with hours of entertainment, get them the Nature’s Hangout Window Bird Feeder. This bird feeder attaches directly to the window, attracting lots of neighborhood birds that will drive your cat wild.

Why set up a bird feeder for your indoor cat?

Bird feeders, especially window-mounted ones, provide endless fun and entertainment for your kitty. Your cat will be more active during the day, when the birds are flocking, and less active at night. This means a quiet night’s sleep for you. Plus, it can give your cat some much-needed exercise without requiring you to play with him. This sort of stimulation can keep him occupied and make him less dependent on you for attention. Who doesn’t love free cat entertainment?

The Nature’s Hangout Window Bird Feeder is one of the best on the market. And at only $25, it’s one of the most affordable, too! This feeder allows you and your kitty to get a closer look at the wildlife in your area. It is made of durable, clear acrylic, which lets you see everyone who comes to visit the feeder.

The feeder attaches to your window with strong suction cups and can be mounted on any glass window. The suction cups are designed to hold the feeder securely in place all year long, even during inclement weather. The company is so sure about their product’s stability that they offer a guarantee: If your bird feeder falls off your window, they’ll give you a complete refund.

The Nature’s Hangout feeder has a large basin measuring 11.8 inches by 5 inches by 4 inches. The enclosed tray can hold up to four cups of birdseed. A cover protects the seed and any visiting birds from rain and snow. There is also a comfortable padded perch-grip that the birds will love.

The tray is equipped with drainage holes to prevent the seed from getting moldy. The holes also help get rid of any rain or snow that would otherwise collect in the tray. Plus, the tray is removable, which makes it quick and easy to clean. You can attach it to any window, and in no time, your local birds will flock to your home.

Helpful tips

Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your new bird feeder:

  • Place it on a window at least 10 feet off the ground to avoid attracting squirrels, raccoons, and other unwanted guests.
  • Do some research on the birds in your neighborhood so you can stock your feeder with seeds that they’ll love.
  • Set up a viewing area for your cat by putting a cat tree or window-ledge pillow by the window with the bird feeder on it.

Give your cat free entertainment with the Nature’s Hangout Window Bird Feeder. It is hassle-free and easy to use for you and provides daily stimulation for your cats (not to mention a meal for your neighborhood birds).

Gus, Copper, and Oliver-Clyde live busy lives at the Beck International Academy in Greenville, SC. When they aren’t playing in their enclosure the guinea pigs are hanging out with students at their desks or visiting other classrooms. In addition to spreading joy, middle school teacher Alexandra Jackson says that the guinea pigs have been an incredible source of growth and learning for her students.

Jackson acquired two of her school guinea pigs with help from The Pet Care Trust’s Pets in the Classroom grant program. These grants provide financial support to teachers for the adoption or purchase and maintenance of small animals in Pre-K through Grade 9 classes. Since its inception in 2010, the program has impacted more than 8.1 million students across the U.S. and Canada.

Disgusted by the idea of adopting a pet rat? 8 facts that could change your mind
Pet rat sits on little girl's shoulder

Not into the idea of a pet rat? Hear us out. While they might not be at the very top of your must-own list, rats can make fantastic pets for the right person. They have great personalities, learn quickly, and bond to humans. One day you think you would never let vermin in your house, and the next you find your place overflowing with rodent treats. If you're willing to put aside your preconceived notions for a minute, take a look through these eight reasons to adopt a cute rat into your home.

Are pet rats just like hamsters?
Well, not exactly, but they do have a lot in common. For starters, they both belong to the rodent family and share many traits, especially those big chompers. However, you will discover a few key differences. One thing that might surprise you is that rats are easier to train and can learn some pretty extensive tricks that might elude your hammie. 
How long will a rat live?
Like a hamster, a rat will live for about two to three years, but it really depends on how well you take care of the little critter. Of course, that's assuming you get a Norway rat, since there are lots of other kinds that are sometimes kept as pets.

Try out these 6 different kinds of best bird feeders to attract your feathered friends

Bird feeders come in multiple shapes and sizes because birds do, too. Each feeder accommodates a different feeding style, and many are enticing to a particular species. Before setting up your feeders, think first about what kinds of flyers you want to attract — and which ones are likely to oblige. Then, once you have a good bird-watching list, scout out the right locations and the best feeders to attract them. You can put out all these for the widest array of visitors or focus on a few types and get the best setup for just those eaters. Here are the six best bird feeders and what feathered friends you'll probably see feeding at them.

What are the different types of bird feeders?
You probably have a bunch of different dishes in your home — plates, bowls, maybe a gravy boat. Our avian guests have the same needs. After all, some birds eat seeds, some animal fat, some flowers, and some nectar. Take a look through these top types and figure out which one — or ones — belong in your yard.
Hummingbird feeders
Putting up a hummingbird feeder all but ensures you'll add a splash of color to your life. This one will bring in gorgeous birds and look nice in the window. Of course, the drawback is that you need to clean it often by hand. Don't worry: A little soap and water will do the trick, and its glass construction means it will last a long time. Feeding hummingbirds saves your wallet, too, since you can make all the food yourself. Boil 1 part sugar and 4 parts water to create this concoction and refrigerate any left over right away. It'll take your neighborhood birds a minute to find their new restaurant, but once they've discovered it (and given a rave review to their friends), you'll never run out of visitors, provided you keep the food flowing. 
Hopper feeders
This is a classic bird feeder that adorns nearly every yard at one time or another. You'll get large birds — and probably large squirrels — as regulars at this one. Try hanging it from a strategic spot or mounting it on a pole to avoid squirrels, but that might be a losing battle. Instead, focus on attracting the birds you do like with the proper seed for them (don't forget to keep it full). We suspect you'll spot a menagerie here, especially jays and cardinals since it's welcoming to bigger animals. Unlike the hummingbird feeder, you won't bring this one indoors often, and should make sure it's reachable by hose or bucket for proper cleaning. 
Tube feeders
The smaller birds of the community will thank you for this tube feeder, as the little perches and openings go well with tiny feet and beaks. Watch for a mix of sparrows, chickadees, and titmice who enjoy having a spot of their own, and look at purchasing a blend that encourages them. However, a small feeder means you have to fill it regularly. It might take a few weeks, but you should get an idea of how often the birds start begging for a refill. Finding a spot can prove tricky because you never know when the guests of honor will alight on the other side. Place it between windows to best see every angle.
