Bird Feeder Poles
A bird feeder pole will help protect your feeder from the
critters in your yard. It's also a good way to mount the
feeder where it is visible from your windows or patio, but
where you don't have a place to hang the feeder. There are a
couple types of bird feeder poles you may want to consider.
Bottom mounted bird feeder poles have the feeder secured to
small platform, with the feeder sitting atop the platform.
This typically requires some type of mounting hardware, and
it great for use with a
platform feeder, or
many of the decorative feeders.
The common alternative is a hanging bird feeder pole. This is
great for use with tube feeders, and is often used with the
motorized squirrel proof feeders like the Droll Yankees
squirrel proof feeders. Some have multiple hooks so more than
one feeder can be hung on the pole.
A few bird feeder poles come with
squirrel baffles built in
to keep the squirrels from climbing to the feeder mount.
The other factor to consider in a bird feeder pole is the
height that you want to mount the feeder. For some feeders,
like purple martin feeders, you may want to mount the feeder
15 or 20 feet in the air, but for others you may simply be
looking to place it at eye level.
