does the feeder have a hole of the bottom so a pole can be used to install from the ground up.

Yes it does, and that is the best way to mount. I hung the feeder and it broke after two months due to cheap plastic construction. I had an opus feeder for 15+ years I was replacing.

I've looked at the No/no Cardinal Feeder listing and it seems intended to hang but if you're going to place the feeder where there are no hanging options I think this pole would work. This pole has an attached mounting plate at its top intended for securing flat-bottomed feeders. Your question will be if the cardinal feeder is sturdy enough to be mounted. Remember, it's intended to be hung and may not be strong in its base.

No, base of feeder is flat. Only way to present it to birds is by hanging it in any fashion you desire.

bottom of the feeder is a straight pole. You could anchor it in concrete or in the soil

This baffle fits over the pole and rests on a bracket that comes with it. So, If you can take your bird house or feeder off the pole, then you do not have to take if out of the ground to install it. I hope that helps.

The pole mount is built in. There is a round tube shape that goes up from the bottom inside where the seed goes. This feeder does keep the squirrels at bay.

The bottom is open. The lip of the bowl is what holds it in place. The feeder has two holes; one for each bowl and they are dropped into them.

The feeder comes with the mount. It screws on to the bottom of the feeder. You just need the pole. I bought the perky-pet one. Works great so far.

No bottom. Sits on the ground I put chicken wire to keep out gophers and moles

This feeder is really meant to be hung from a hook or sheperd's pole. The hole's are not large but they are big enough for small birds to eat from. Hope this helps you.

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.

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.

there is a hole in the bottom approx. 1 1/2" in diameter. you can insert a pole in the bottom and attach the pole to the fence

The picture shows the hook from which it can be hung. There is a hole on the bottom that is designed to slip over a post. Without seeing your railing, it is hard to know how you might mount it, but if it is a wooden railing and you don't mind drilling into it, you could mount the feeder on a dowel round inserted into a hole in the railing.

Yes, the tray has drainage holes. However, if you are looking for a squirrel-proof bird feeder, this isn't it. Our squirrels enjoy swinging on the feeder while emptying the contents onto the ground where their compatriots enjoy the spoils. The silver lining is that the seed spilled onto the ground is consumed by a large variety of seed eating birds who seem to know the routine.

Yes but lower attachments make it easy for the squirrels to just jump to them. Pole is not very high. It's all about placement of the attachments and how close the pole is to other objects. With a little repositioning the squirrels really don't bother trying and mostly just eat off the ground around the pole. We are happy with our purchase and find the starlings that visit to be a way bigger problem than the squirrels.

No. I have a <10 lb feeder on this pole and had to put a "j-post" into the ground next to it For something as heavy as your bird house, you need a 4x4 timber set into concrete or something VERY sturdy.
