it says this feeder "Can be hung or mounted on a post". How is it mounted? I'm looking for a feeder I can mount flat on a railing.

There's a hole (roughly 1/4-inch) on the bottom of the feeder for mounting. This is a wonderful feeder for hanging, hummingbirds love it.

It will not mount on a post un.ess you have some kind of hanging bracket that would screw o the post. It is designed with a metal hook on top that you hang from a tree or another hanger.

It would have to hang from a hook that extends out from the pole 10 to 12 inches. The feeder comes with a ring attached to the top.

it can be pole mounted. you will to drill fasteners thru the floor of the feeder. should be simple with a cordless drill. that is how i installed mine.

That depends where you want to hang it. I use a piece of 3/4 inch metal conduit bent at a 90 degree angle about three feet from the bottom and have it strapped to my deck post. About one foot back front of the conduit I drilled a hole and put an eye bolt in it to hang the feeder.

The feeder should be screwed onto the pole mount.Make sure the screws are tight.You have to really smash the poles together, hard.I had my 14 year old son do it.You may borrow him if you want!

you would have to fix some kind of holder for the pole. I have seen flat feeders that were already adapted to a pole which is probably a better choice. I have mine having on a shepard's crook pole.

I hung mine from a steel fishing leader wire so the feeder rotates when a bird lands on it. The largest bird that I have see on it was a cardinal all the rest are smaller birds and because of the thin wire - no squirrels!!! Hope this helps.

I wondered the same thing. I got a similar feeder from petsN' all which does have a place for a pole (3/4"), but it is very cheaply made. I just got it today and am going to send it back and ask for another one, and if it is as bad as this one, I'm gonna look for another feeder feeder. I ordered the perky-pet carriage bird feeder a while ago and it is great for a pole or hanging, but it spills too much seed on the ground for one location where I want to keep it cleaner, which is why the design of this one appealed to me. It is a great design, but has some major flaws.

Mountable on pole with screw. I added a 3/4 dowel to my bird feeder and then mounted the dome atop this dowel to thwart pesky squirrels from leaping from nearby branches into the feeder. It has worked so far, but the clever squirrels will probably figure out a way around the devise. :)

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.

I put the biggest feeder I've ever come across on it and it holds it with no sign of stress to the pole. Significantly, it also does not stress the railing either. I've to replace other railings due to stress caused by other poles. This one is superior in every respect.

No. I hung my feeder but I seem to remember it had a pole mount. I might add that the little red roof opening where you load the seeds into is very small and partially blocked inside by support structures. I had to cut out two of the four structures to allow seeds to flow in. It is a big feeder and holds a lot of feed.

After four years I still LOVE, LOVE this feeder! I kept the label - it says the "base is threaded which allows the feeder to be pole mounted." Hope this helps.

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.

This is NOT A FEEDER. It is a hanger you can mount to your window. The arm is about 6" long - eg it sticks out from your window a bit over 6". You have to buy the feeder separately, this is a HANGER for a feeder.

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.

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