Although more easy to place feeders hanging on trees can be also more often visited by unwanted visitors like squirrels or some bird-eating cats. Using a pole with some optional accessories can provide a good solution for these problems. You must position the pole at least 10 feet away from any possible jump platform, mount the feeders around 6 feet up from the ground and mount on the pole a cone shaped baffle about 4.5 feet off the ground.

Although hard to crack open for some birds is the cardinal’s favorite. Some ground-feeding birds like quails, doves, and juncos like white proso millet.
