This has certainly worked for me. I put those suction cup window feeders on
my two large front windows and the window collisions have virtually ceased.

There's a Yellow Rumped Warbler who has taken possession of my suet feeder.
It's remarkable to watch this bird eating suet literally non-stop from dawn
to dusk and defending it fairly successfully against several other hungry
Yellow Rumps and Chickadees.
