Bird Feeder Pole Info

A bird feeder pole is the perfect solution to those who want to provide birds a place to pick up easy extra food in between their daily foraging hunts.

The perfect bird feeder poles are sturdy, with perches that are inaccessible to predators (i.e., squirrel and raccoon proof), holds a fair amount of seed so you're not constantly having to refill it, and simple to use.

Bird feeder poles come in hundreds of different designs and are always changing. One of the best and most practical bird feeder poles is the Nature Products 431 Green Classic Pole Mount Wild Bird Feeder. This bird feeder pole, shown on this page, is one of the few endorsed by The National Audubon Society.

It's features include UV resistent seed tubes, multi-section steel pole, with a 1.2 gallon seed capacity, cast aluminum feeding ports, stainless steel perches, squirrel baffle skirt, and a baked enamel finish. This model, unlike some of the cheaper models, is also very effective in keeping the seeds dry during heavy rains.

Typically you should mount your bird feeder pole in an open area away from overhanging trees, high structures, and fences where predators can jump from. You can either hang your garden bird feeders on the pole or attach them to the top of the pole. Even though your bird feeder pole may be squirrel proof, if you locate it under a tree, the squirrel has easy access to it.

A Bird Feeder Pole Can Spruce Up Your Garden

Besides having different kinds of plants and flowers in your garden, one of the best ways that you can give a new look to your garden is to place a decorative bird feeder pole in it. Before too long it will begin attracting a variety of different species of birds to your garden, enlivening it greatly. But, not only does it give your garden a new fresh look, you also get to show your appreciation to your feathered friends by providing them with food.

Building Your Own Bird Feeder Pole

If you are handy with tools or simply don't like any of the ones you see on the market, you always have the option of building your own bird feeder pole. If so, you have a number of decision you'll have to make. What height do you want to make it, what materials should you use, how many limbs should you have, what types of birds you want to attract, and so on. Unless you've built bird feeders before, probably the best approach is to find or purchase a set of plans for building a bird feeder pole. This will give you a good head start over trying to do everything from scratch yourself.

One place to search for plans is at birdsnest.com. This is a hobbyist center, online store, and resource center in one. It is a family-owned business that is based in Cincinnati, Ohio that helps other people encourage providing temporary habitat like nesting sites and feeders for a variety of birds for them to be protected and sheltered from the cruelty of the outside world.
