Ive had mine up on a window in my bedroom for a couple of years, sorta forgetting about it. Just recently, I started to hear some bustle and opened up a curtain that I rarely open and, alas! There's a nest in there. I'm excited to see what ends up with it! I hear the bird in there early every morning now!! I have a 2nd one i Haven't put up yet and now Im anxious to find a spot for it!
DOES NOT WORK ---- JUST NOW TOOK IT DOWN AFTER BEING UP FOR 4 YRS -----DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT ---PERIOD --- WASTE OF MONEY
How do you attract birds to your birdhouse?
I have a friend that has been very pleased with hers. She has had babies in hers the last two years !!! I bought my 1st one today & cannot wait to mount it. I found the My Spy Birdhouse, as seen on TV at Family Dollar today for only $5 !! So glad I didn't order one on-line.
Imagine the pomposity of writing reviews for products that you never even saw? Maybe these "reviews" are paid advertisements or perhaps just the brain child of someone who really believes he's smarter than anyone else who looked at a picture.
This "review" site is a waste of time and an insult to anyone fooled into wasting their time to read it.
I've had my house up for almost a year and while sitting in my yard the other day, I realized why birds won't go in it. When they fly up to it, they get spooked by their reflection in the window that it is mounted on. Unless you can put something on the outside of the window so they won't see their reflection when they fly up to it, they will get spooked everytime.
I have a male beta fish so I was worried a lot about the mirror. Chickadees surrender very easily and may leave a potential nest site upon seeing another bird wanting the nest. I simply do not use the mirror. I have gotten a black capped chickadee interested in my house. shortly after getting my my spy birdhouse i put two feeders near the house(15 ft and 5ft away) and put some leaves off of tulips in the house and the black capped chickadee has landed on top of the house(claiming the house) and landing near the perch. So it may work but it seems to me that birds and far more untrusting of this birdhouse.. who wouldnt be? With all the movement and on a window near activity. The place to put it.. if you want a chance at getting a bird would be on a window facing a nonactive area such as a backyard. And you cant put a feeder too near the birdhouse otherwise birds will be scared off by competition and possibly no birds will nest. But a feeder, nesting material placed in or around house, and a water source will help attract birds. I wouldnt dismiss this product I would just say you have to be patient and when you get a bird nesting very very cautious.
What side of house should this my spy bird house be
This is in ressponse to some other comments about the bird feces on the window.. there is a protective clear piece of plexy glass that goes between the birdhouse and the window so no feces or other debris would touch the window at all
I have a myspy birdhouse and i havent got a bird in it yet. I do not use the one way mirror thing because wouldnt the birds get spooked if the saw another bird in the house?? I do use the cardboard do not disturb sign though. But about the one way mirror.. I think that would spook them.. anyone agree?
My neighbor just posted that his I spy bird-feeder started a fire apparently by concentrating the sun's light on a fence next to his window where it was installed. Be careful with this product. If it weren't for an observant neighbor and quick response by the local fire department (a block away), his home could have gone up in smoke!
Can you say "parabolics"?? If you knew anything about them, you'd realize that there is NO way the I spy bird-feeder could have possibly started a fire. I smell a fish... a BIG fish. Do your homework - and science. If a fire marshall determined this was the cause, he is the biggest idiot ever or your neighbor is. I am not for or against this product, but this is clearly bologna at its worst.
