Hanging a Bird Feeder
The best place to hang a bird feeder is in a sheltered location with southeastern exposure, as birds like to feed in the sun and out of the wind. Birds also prefer not to have any obstructions over their feeding areas, so they can easily see predators.
A squirrel baffle (sold separately) keeps squirrels from jumping onto the bird feeder from above.
Discouraging Squirrels and Raccoons
When hanging your bird feeder from a tree branch, try and locate it at least 12 feet from any tree trunk or limb and at least 4 feet up from the ground. This will prevent squirrels from either jumping from the tree or up for the ground onto the feeder. If you’re hanging a feeder off the line, make sure the line is at least 8 feet long, with the feeder suspended at least 4 feet above the ground or snow. You should also use a very thin wire, such as piano wire.
When pole mounting the feeder, make sure the pole is at least 5-1/2 feet in length. This will allow you to place the pole approximately 1 foot into the ground and still keep the bottom of the feeder 4 feet off the ground. You may also want to add a squirrel baffle, such as the Perky-Pet squirrel baffle, which can be hung above or pole mounted below the feeder. And to keep raccoons at bay, try placing a 6-inch diameter stovepipe that’s at least 2 feet long around the mounting pole. They’ll find it difficult to climb the thicker stovepipe.

Fine … as long as it doesn’t rain Hi folks. I don’t have spare time to review every product I buy here with over 250 orders in the last year. However, I do feel obligated to mention or warn others when a product fails under normal ordinary conditions.
Birds like my feeder This feeder is attractive, easy to use and functional. The only thing I don’t like, and maybe this is just my seed, but the birdseed sometimes gets stuck in the openings so I have to go in with my finger to get the birdseed to come out again. Other than that, can’t complain.
Squirrels! Gr! I bought this bird feeder for my mother as a mother’s day gift. As such, the majority of this review is second hand information, although I have had the pleasure of watching birds eating from it on my own a few times.
