Rank #1 in Best Bird Feeder 2026: Squirrel-Proof, or Just Metal?
Foxup Window Bird Feeder with 3 Strong Suction Cups, Clear Acrylic
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Foxup window feeder is the second best seller in Amazon's bird feeder category: £8.95, 4.5 stars from 1,689 ratings, a clear acrylic tray on three suction cups at 310g.
It takes first place because it is the cheapest product in this ranking and the best reviewed among the single feeders, and because it is the only one that says which birds it is for: robins, blue tits, sparrows and finches. It makes no squirrel-proof claim, which is right for a feeder held on by suction.
How those 1,689 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.5 stars.
