Sold the house

After 34 years. Had to move when my back went wacky and stairs were too much.
Now in an apartment.
Miss the garden, bird feeders, space between me and my neighbors.
Now that we can and have downsized, the search for a mini version of what we had will commence. Unfortunately, prices have gone up.
Life goes on.

Have you searched bird feeders that can be hung at apartments? flor-de-jasmim May 2024 #1

Bird feeders may not be allowed deRien May 2024 #3

Yeah, they're not allowed in our complex. 😕 ShazzieB May 2024 #4

Transitions can be weird, esp the minuses. Best of luck with the search! appalachiablue May 2024 #2

I took a quick look, and it seems there are ones with suction cups to stick to the outside of a window, and others that may not do much damage. If you have a balcony, I've seen waterfall arrangements that can help cut the noise.

But I sympathize... we have just bought an apartment and a balcony and quiet were musts for us.
Enjoy your new life!!
