REPLY:  My wife and I started married life in a fourth floor attic apartment 
off Washington Street in Newton Corner, MA.  We maintained a fairly busy 
bird feeder outside our bedroom window hanging from the branch of a tall 
shade tree.
    The tree was probably a helpful factor.  Most feeder birds like cover 
nearby.
