Best Bird Feeders for Apartments and Condos

You may think if you want to enjoy feeding birds from your home, that you need to live out near the woods or have a large yard. This is not true! That may bring higher variety or greater numbers of birds, but birds can be found anywhere. You can still enjoy feeding birds if you have a tiny yard, or even no yard at all.

In this article I will recommend the top 4 window mounted bird feeders for apartments and condos as well as some options for mounting a bird feeder to your apartment railing. We will also talk about how you can have feeders on a small deck with no yard space and attracting birds to your feeders.

*Best option for an apartment railing bird feeder

Window mounted bird feeders, which we’ll go over below, are a good option for many people as they are easy to set up and get started with. However they aren’t always the best option for everyone.

Your apartment may have a balcony with a railing that would be perfect for attaching a feeder to, but you’ll need something to hang the feeder from. All you need is a good railing clamp and you can pretty much use any bird feeder you want.

You are going to need two things to mount a bird feeder to your balcony railing, a railing clamp with a pole and hook, and the feeder itself. Here are our recommendations:

Apartment railing clamp

Green Esteem Stokes Select Bird Feeder Pole, 36-Inch Reach, Deck or Railing Mounted

This quality made clamp and hook from Green Esteem is easy to install and perfect for apartment railings, patios, and decks. It holds up to 15 pounds which is more than enough for a bird feeder full of seed. 

Not only is it a great option for you to use to mount a bird feeder to your apartment or deck railing, but a portion of every purchase is donated to a bird habitat and conservation!
