Hooks, Chains and Hanging Cables
WBU Suction Cup Window Hanger: Having a bird feeder near a window brings the excitement of nature up close. It can also help prevent birds from flying into the window because they perceive that something is there. Our WBU Suction Cup Window Hanger gives you the chance to bring your birds as close to you as possible. To apply the suction cups to a window, make sure the window is clean and dry. Apply a little facial oil to the suction cup and press them firmly against the window. It is important not to apply water to the suction cups because water can cause the suction cups to come off the window. The WBU Suction Cup Window Hanger holds up to 4 lbs. of weight. Pair this hanger with a small and light weight bird feeders such as WBU Hummingbird Feeders, Oriole Feeders, Mealworm Feeders or any other small feeders.

Starling Stumper: The Starling Stumper is an easy way to help keep starlings and blackbirds out of your suet feeder. The Starling Stumper features a center hanger attached to three 6" chains. Snaps on the ends of the chains secure the Starling Stumper to your feeder. The two small snaps attach to corners of a WBU Suet Feeder and a third swivel snap keeps the door closed and provides access to the food for easy refilling. Leave plastic container from your WBU Suet Cakes on the food and place it in cage with suet facing down. The woodpeckers, chickadees, nuthatches and other suet eating birds can cling from the bottom and feed upside down; but the larger blackbirds and starlings are more uncomfortable feeding this way. The Starling Stumper will work with most sizes and shapes of suet cages.

Other Bird Feeder Accessories
Feeder Fresh™: Feeder Fresh™ is a bird-safe moisture trap and seed preservative for all seed and feeder types. It fights rain, condensation, leaks and keeps your seed fresh. Feeder Fresh™ is safe for all birds, inert and chemically similar to sand grit (which birds regularly consume in the wild). It is designed to promote the health of wild birds by keeping the feeders they eat from dry and reducing the incidence of harmful mold toxins. Feeder Fresh™ works with any type of seed; but many people use Feeder Fresh™ with their Nyjer® or WBU Finch Blend seed regularly as these seeds can easily spoil with moisture. We sell Feeder Fresh™ in two sizes 45 grams (1.6 oz.) and 454 g (16 oz.).
