Would this make a bird feeder pole slippery?

Slippery "ain't" the word! Yes, this is no different than greasing the pole with heavy lithium grease. It sprays out white...in a thin coat.

Its very sticky which is perfect for birds...They won't land on the stuff.....You would need to put it where it wouldn't block or obstruct the water from entering your gutters ...Be careful not to get any on your hands...Hard to get off, but works great!

Absolutely. I have one on my bluebird nesting pole and have not had the nests disturbed

The feeder is quite heavy when filled so the pole would need to be very strong and secure.

Not sure I understand exactly what you are asking, but the whole thing is light metal and the pole sticks in the ground. It is a bit wobbly. I removed the water pan, and squirrel baffle bought separately to help keep them out. The three main feeders work OK. Overall, it is adequate, but not going to be my permanent bird feeder over the long run. I think of it as a test run.

Boy, Robert, you've asked a hard one, there. Most of us have long ago installed our bird feeder poles and the tines are well buried. From my perspective, the important question is, "Are the tines long enough to anchor the pole [and the bird feeder/house on top] securely?" To this I can answer unequivocally "yes." I have a large feeder [~3 gallon] on my pole with a squirrel cone below it. The feeder was intended for the usual small birds but was beset by pigeons until I mounted spikes on its top and feed trays. It's a heavy arrangement. After more than a year in place, the pole has a very slight list from vertical [probably from my misplacement] but is entirely secure in a bed of typical garden soil. Now for the foggy part: I have in my mind's eye that the tines were 6-7" long. I wondered at the time if they would be long enough but they have proven to be.

Not that I can determine. Seems as if you would have to mount the entire feeder onto a platform that would be at the top of a pole which would require drilling screw holes in the bottom tray. Since the whole feeder is plastic, you will make the entire feeder more vulnerable. We strung fishing line around a tree branch (threw a tennis ball with the fishing line over the branch) and use the hook at the top of the feeder, plus an additional eye hook to hang the feeder two stories off the ground. Works splendidly. Good luck!

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.

Not much help for you. I bought the one that's two plastic trays hung by wire to each other. The birds didn't like dodging wire when landing and I didn't like wearing meal worms if it tilted. I'm going to try open bowls next.

I don't know... I'm using it to hold a plant. I wouldn't recommend this for a bird feeder. It is too short for that.

Yes. Our pole is shaped like a T and the feeder hangs on one end. It is durable, attractive and the birds love it - especially cardinals.

I don't have any experience using this as a hanging feeder but I would think the bungee cord would work. These feeders are very heavy so I don't think a bird landing on it would cause it to tip. I would try the bungee cord and if that doesn't work purchase a pole system and add a squirrel baffle. These feeders are so well made and easy to clean that it will never need replaced.

I have never faced that issue, but I think it cold work for snakes. The snake would likely try to go up the pole and would not be able to get through that way. A very clever snake might be able to get around the unit, but I doubt if they could figure it out. Do not take my word for this, but I think I am right. It prevents most animals. It would depend on how high off the ground the unit is placed. My unit is about 3.5 - 4 feet above the top of my deck rail. Squirrels are not able to jump above it and get to the feeder. Good luck.

Not positive but I have mine fairly high up to prevent squirrels from jumping over it. I also heavily grease the pole below it.

You would have to fix a device/platform to place over the top pole...maybe with a slightly larger short pole to slide over the top of the main pole with a platform and attached birdhouse.

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

It does not come with hardware to pole mount. You would have to do that yourself. Keep in mind that this feeder is not lightweight but if you are crafty it would work...
