As soon as you decide to set up a window hummingbird feeder, the most essential thing is keeping it out of direct sunlight to protect its nectar from spoilage and make it easier for hummingbirds to find.

Doing this could result in serious injuries or even death of these tiny flying creatures.

Attracts bees
Window feeders can help attract hummingbirds without the need for a yard. Window hummingbird feeders enable you to observe them from your own home while providing sustenance during times when natural food sources become scarcer. In addition, they help reduce collisions by breaking reflections off windows so they can focus their attention on nectar sources instead.
When it comes to window hummingbird feeders, bee-prevention features are key in order to protect birds. There are various methods available for doing this such as adding bee-repelling spray to the water of your feeder, citrus fruits like orange or lemon peels as a deterrent and even placing a bee trap nearby the feeder to capture bees before they reach hummingbirds.
Be mindful, however, that bees do not form part of a hummingbird’s usual diet. While bees could potentially find and feed on nectar-producing flowers nearby, they tend to be much larger and are likely to sting them instead of feeding on nectar themselves. You may only attract bees to your feeder if there are no other sources nearby of nectar for them.
To avoid bees, it is essential that your hummingbird feeder be regularly cleaned in order to stop sugar from collecting around its ports and attracting bees. Flowers which attract bees should also be replaced as soon as they begin wilting; pollinator-friendly plants such as crocus, lilacs, sage, tulips, nasturtiums or sunflowers could provide suitable alternatives.
Use an ant trap near your hummingbird feeder to deter bees and other insects, providing a safer alternative than toxic chemical solutions. Ant traps not only reduce bees, ants, wasps and wasp nests but they can also prevent blackflies, caterpillars and mites from invading your garden.
Easy to clean
Hummingbird feeders can become very dirty over time, so it is essential that they be regularly cleaned.

Once cleaned you can fill and hang back up your feeder as normal. Also changing out nectar frequently will attract more hummingbirds while also helping prevent mold growth.
Your choice of hummingbird feeder will also play a part in how often it needs cleaning. Window hummingbird feeders come in both inverted and saucer models; with inverted offering larger capacity but harder cleaning requirements than their saucer counterparts. Inverts may be easier for nectar levels check, yet harder for cleaning overall. Furthermore, consider how often visitors will come by your feeder; frequent visitors could mean cleaning more regularly!
Look for a window bird feeder that is both durable and weatherproof; one that will withstand rain, snow, extreme temperatures, as well as sturdy suction cups to secure its placement in your window. Lastly, seek out clear feeders so that you can watch birds as they feed from it.
