Do suction cups hold on cold winter windows?

Cold glass can weaken suction, so it helps to clean the glass and cups and attach them when the window is at room temperature. Checking the grip regularly is a good habit.

Can the perch be moved between windows?

Most release easily by lifting the suction cup tabs. Wiping the cups before reattaching helps them grip again.
