Window View Nest Box

It looks like the pigeon chick that had been nesting inside our building's exposed roof line trim has finally flown the coop. It's actually a little sad not hearing that baby bird coo or chirp for its supper from its attentive parents, as I got used to checking on its growth status from an invisible, but audible, chick to a full-sized winged poop machine. Maybe I'll need to get one of these Window View Nest Boxes, all in the hope next spring I'll be able to watch Discovery HD-quality nature programming from my own window.

I love the concept, but am unconvinced that birds will choose to nest up against a transparent window. Does anyone have experience with these?

They can and do - provided the window isn't high traffic.

i'd be scared that the birds would crash into the window. this reminds me of the hummingbird feeder i recently, accidentally, purchased. same concept: the bird feeder suctioned to the window. when i pulled it out of the box i was perplexed....why would someone entice a bird to come crashing into a window. if anyone has an answer...please let me know. instead i hooked the flat side of the feeder to a hanging planter - which has tunred out great.

Pigeons are dirty, full of fleas and microbes, sometimes more than rats! I would not want them near my window!

Hey leave the pigeons alone! According to most definitions of vermin, human beings are by far the worst offenders. Do these boxes work? I was thinking they might be a good cat-proof solution?

yes. As I already said, I've had one, and they work. And we never had a bird fly into the window with one up.

Thanks for the info, Monkeyme. I may have to get one.
