Bird Feeder Stands
If you are looking for a good way to both protect and display your bird feeders, a bird feeder stand can do the trick.
A stand allows you to put the feeder away from both houses (and their roofs) along with trees that can serve as home for squirrels, cats, and snakes. A bird feeder stand 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.
Some
decorative bird feeders come with stands, and many come in decorative finishes like copper or verdigris.
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 stands 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.
