Would this work in a bird feeder HANGING FROM A WIRE??? Is there any way to install in a bird hanger?

it might but not sure as it works on a pole preventing a squirrel from going up

I do not think it would. I use this model on a pole mounted hanger. I have another feeder suspended from a tree branch with with a bungee cord. The cord is through a unit with a wider angle and about 18 inches in diameter that works really well. I threaded the bungee cord through the hole and then a large washer before hooking it to the bird feeder.

The NATORPEDO is designed to work on a birdpole - not sure how functional it would be for a bird feeder on a wire. I have other feeders with a dome over the top and that works pretty well. If you use the largest diameter dome with your feeder underneath, it will keep the seeds dry from bad weather (rain, snow, etc) keep out the Starlings (they don't like to go under it) ... and the squirrels don't seem to be able to hang on to reach under to grab the feeder. The dome I use is the 'Aspects 182 Super Dome.' It's 18" in diameter and works great!

If it could be hung above the feeder on the same wire it might work. You would have to make a new hanging bracket for the tube,

The torpedo is held in place by a ring that is attached to the pole. The torpedo is meant to stop varmints from getting up the pole and onto the feeder. I think that a dome-like baffle would be better suited for hung feeders since you are trying to prevent squirrels from going down the wire and onto the feeder. Good luck!

I have a medal post onto which I hang bird feeders. I used the baffle on this post to prevent the squirrel from climbing UP the post.I don't think it would work on a wire as well as it needs to stops the animal from going up. There are baffles which look like large hard hats that I use on wires hanging from trees. These baffles keep the squirals from climbing DOWN the wires.LRG

There is a tab at the top with a hole in it to run a string through for hanging. It needs to be moving and reflecting all the time in order to work. For me it didn't work for more than a few days. What did work more than anything else to keep the birds out is to hang reflective streamers. They reflect and are in constant motion if there's any air movement.

There is a wire loop that is used to hang the bird feeder. It is about 2 inches wide. You should be able to use an S-shaped hook is it is too small to fit around the branch.

No, it comes without hardware for pole mounting, so you would need to get separate hardware and do that yourself. It definitely would work better on a pole, as I have it on a heavy duty shepherd's hook and it still, when filled, can bend it. This is a big bruiser of a bird feeder. It's well made, but it's not light. It has small openings to prevent critters from running rampant, but I agree with another writer who said to use with a baggle. Squirrels still can get their greedy paws in and scoop out seed.

Will work if feeder can accept 4 screws or bolts through bottom to attach to plate at top if pole. We use an Audubon Torpedo baffle on the pole itself to keep squirrels from climbing the pole. It works.

Instead of this expensive cover, if you want to hang feeder from above, simply go to HomeDepot, buy 2' of 3/32" SS wire and aluminum connectors so you can make 3 or 4" loops each end. Then hang Big "S" popular hanger or loop a branch and hang feeder box at bottom wire loop. Squirrels or chipmunks cannot climb up or down the small (3/32") wire. I have watched them briefly try and give up. BTW, what's wrong with squirrels and chipmunks? Give them a second feeder with dried corn etc. or let them glean on the grass or ground below feeders. There is always plenty down there.

This probably would t be any sturdier. It's very pliable. We made bird nest necklaces at a functions and it worked good for that but we need pliable wire to wind. Hope this helps.

It hangs easily with the included hanging device. My experience with using it either hanging or pole mounted is the necessity of a squirrel baffle to keep those pesky critters from figuring out how to empty the feeder. Good luck.

It has a wire that is looped to form something to hang it from. The wire is what the lid is attached to the feeder with. With the wire, it makes the feeder hang lower than I thought it would. I purchased the additonal "S" hook that Amazon sells with the feeder & it works wonderfully on the branch of my tree. I had been using a tie down strap with the old feeder, but that made the new one hang too low to the ground.

I cut mine to fit around a shelf. That worked just fine. The birds and wire are all one piece, so if you want to cut the birds off I'm sure you could do it but u would have to be careful and u wouldn't be left with any wire.

THe string is too long. It's a problem. In the Minnesota winter the feeder needs to be hung close to sheltering trees or shrubs but I have nothing high enough to hang it safely there. Sort I don't have a solution yet.

There is a split ring attached to the center of the chain you see in the picture. There is 6 inches of straight chain from the split ring to a "S" hook. I use a heavy gauge coated wire that I attach to where ever I want to hang the feeder, I then bend a "U" at the end of the wire and hang the feeder. Hope this helps!

Hang it anywhere just add a chain or something similiar if you need to extend the length or can't fit the hook around the object you want to hang it on. I hung mine as is on a bird feeder pole.

Wait - I thought of another option! Look for the Brome Squirrel Buster CLASSIC (not the standard - I always get those 2 mixed up) - it has removable perches. You MIGHT be able to just clip the perches onto the wire cover ABOVE the feeding ports instead of below! However, they are U-shaped perches which might not be that easy for the birds to flip around on. But it's a thought ... it MIGHT work.Brome Squirrel Buster Classic

Hi, the feeder has a space at the center of the bottom of it that extends inward about 1 1/4" with a diameter maybe 1/2" or so. I would assume that is exactly what it is made to do. I do not think bracket mounting would be a great idea, but might work if doesn't bend the metal base which screws onto the clear plastic. I just tried a metal rod for size while the feeder was totally full and there were no problems or damage. Keep in mind that the top must come off to add the seed, and after a few birds the feeder will be bottom heavy anyway(that's good for pole mounting). I hope this helps. later Hi, the feeder has a space at the center of the bottom of it that extends inward about 1 1/4" with a diameter maybe 1/2" or so.

I used it to protect my bird feeder from squirrels - it has worked perfectly. I don't know why it could not be hung from a sheherd's hook.

You can put this on a pole if your pole has a bracket. This has a loop at the top of the wire, so you need something to hang this on. The bigger birds not at this feeder, some spillage but not as much as other feeders. Very good small bird feeder.
