After covid started, two that suction cup to the dining room windows, one hummingbird pretty blown glass one by cats tall climber window. And two more for different birds out in the yard.

With staying home I can attest to them helping my happiness, watching them daily is soothing. Few have hit the windows and fell down, none died just stunned for 5 min. I went out and scooped up and put on top of table outside so dogs sniffing wouldn't hurt it.
