We just have a small tree in the yard and can not figure how to hang attach the feeder.

It's hard to tell if it will work for you. We have ours attached to a fence and it works perfectly. You probably need a surface of an inch to an inch and a half to attach the hanging plate. You do need to stabilize the feeder a bit because the squirrels love the feeder and will hang around it and climb inside.

sorry I don't know as we had a old large black walnut tree. It works great if you can get it hung.

You certainly do not want to damage a young, small tree with nails and screws. I would suggest purchasing a wooden post, treated, and nail a square block of wood on the top of the post to accommodate the width of the feeder. If you dig deep enough the extra weight would not affect the balance of the post. It would look quite handsome beside your tree.

Line up two screws in a piece of 1' x 4" with the corresponding vertical holes in the back of the Feeder. Tie the 1" x 4" piece of wood to the most vertical branch with wide string or rope. The screws should be offset to match the angle of the vertical branch so that the Feeder winds up close to being level. Hang the Feeder on the 1" x 4".

Really small? There are holes in back of it that you could screw it onto tree say if there's eno ugh room (like 6"). Or you can attach it to a post..

Use a piece of wood .... say. 2"wide x 5"long x 3/4" thick .... mount this on the trunk so that the 2" x 5" surface is verticle/perpendicular to the ground ....orient the wood so the top to bottom dimension is 5". Use at least 3 wood screws to mount the wood to the trunk. Mount the bracket, use the provided wood screws, to the upper section of the wood ... the tabs pointing up. Now is a great to paint the wood piece to protect it from weather. Slip the bracket metal tabs inti their corresponding holes on the back of the feeder, slip it down to mount...away you go.

We had an old wooden bird feeder that fell apart from the rainy weatherMy husband was able to salvage part of the base and then attached the metal one to the wood and tgen to the tree. So maybe if you could attach it first to a piece of wood that would help. Rayofjoy25@gmail.com

Try to secure it to a pole, stick or board and position it next to the tree. The squirrel's will figure out how to get to it. If it is touching the tree or within 12 inches, that should be good enough. Another alternative is to secure it to a board and use small cables to secure the board around the tree. A nearby wall would also work.

Yes, there is a sturdy wire hanger that you could directly hang on a branch or put over a hook. I've had good luck with downy and hairy woodpeckers, but the pileated and red breasted aren't interested (though they are less common in this neighborhood anyway). So placement of the feeder will be important and something to experiment with. The feeder itself is well made and easy to fill and to clean.

There is a closed loop so a hook is not needed, but it really depends on where you are hanging it. The tree branch my feeder is on is very thick, so I use a hook. This is the hook I use http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000HHM43W?cache=ca2fa0ab5f9026c637a6d291178931c6#ref=mp_s_a_1_1&qid;=1393265549&sr;=8-1 there are 2 sizes available

There is a plastic cap that screws onto the top of the bottle of the hummingbird feeder bottle and a red coated wire that you knot on one end and feed thru the cap. on the top side of cap twist the wire into a loop. You then screw the cap onto the bottle while holding the filled bottle upside down. You now can turn the feeder for hanging. It is a very good feeder. This is my second one. To clean it use pipe cleaners in the flower holes with hot water.

The bottom of the feeder is rounded. The feeder is designed with a hook to be hung from a tree or a hook.

no one knows how or where you will want it hung. so they don't provide any thing extra except for short piece's of rope. maybe you have trees to hang it from, or patio posts or wall mount anchors like i used for two contact points and two tress for the other end.use longer ropes. i used garage door lift wire for one end to a tree because s red squirrel chewed thru it to get the rope for its nest

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!

You can hang the hook on a pole. We have it hanging on a tree branch. Because it is circular shape the birds access from all sides.

It is basically a hanging type of feeder but if you are mechanically inclined, you could probably modify it to be pole mounted.

I never hung mine yet. I need another alternative because my tree isn't string enough.

Mine did not come with anything to hang it with. Had to go to Lowes and get a command hook.

Darlene, let me revise my response (above). There is an area for a hook at the top. Now I remember I used the hook on the 33 inch $ 1.50 chain I bought to hang it (the chain can be modified to be shorter). I used the same chain to hang the feeder, so they are at the same height.. Then I suspended them from the eave of the house using a cup hook. Hope this makes sense and is helpful.

I wove fishing line between the lid and the hook at the top, to make sure the top doesn't get lost, AGAIN. It fell off during a snowstorm, and it was weeks before I could find it in the snow. If you are worrying about it blowing off your the hook where you are hanging it, reinforce it with fishing line or something comparable. Otherwise it is a good feeder for the little birds.

Ours is hanging from a tree because we live in a very wooded area. It is very light in weight so it could be hung from a smaller, younger tree. We have a similar one that hangs from a bird feeder which is secured in the ground, and has 4 "arms" to hang various styles of feeders. The wind spinner is absolutely beautiful and blows in the slightest breeze. Hopefully, you will be able to find a place to hang it. Good Luck!!! Mary J. :-)

The feeder has a looped string about 9 inches long. I cut the hook from a wire clothes hanger to attach the feeder to a branch of a shrub outside my window. I'm not sure what your shepard's hook looks like but that might work too. An S-shaped hook might work too. If not the wire hanger will work well.

yes, i believe you can hang it also. it has a handle that you can use to hang it from a tree, or whatever you have. i have mine on the pole with an added extra - a cone to prevent the squirels from climbing up to the feeder. i havent had any problems after i added the cone, but the squirels were able to get to the food by holding on to the pole just below the feeder and using one paw to grab food from the feeder. i dont know if they'd be able to do the same thing from a chain holding it from the top.

We did not evaluate it for hanging anywhere except a door facing, but there should be someway to secure it to a tree branch. Perhaps the manufacturer could provide some guidance.
