It has a wire with a loop at the top so you can hang it from a stand or tree.

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.

it's on hinges so it's not made to be removed but you could do it yourself but you'd have to attach the chains it hangs by to the sides...we actually have a couple of short bungee cords holding our feeder to a post on our deck ...that way we get a closer look at our birds and nocturnal flying squirrels that are small enough to fit inside

The feeder is too small for birds the size of crows. Make certain that you check on the type of crows prefer, then find a feeder that will work.

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.

Unfortunately you can only mount this feeder on a pole. It is one of my favorite feeders though. Love the clean appearance of it which does not take away from the colourful birds.

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.

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.

I'm not sure what the question is. There is a small (about 1/2 inch) hole in the bottom, but I don't think it was ever meant to take a pole sturdy enough to hold that feeder up. The feeder is heavy. I hang mine from a tree, but a external metal rig with an arm that would allow it to hang certainly will work.

I was asking the exact same question.........I want to buy a low table to set two different size bowls on for dogs; a larger bowl for water, and a smaller bowl for food. I cannot find an elevated feeder that accommodates different sized bowls.......so this seemed like a possible solution: just buy a low table, and set out whatever size bowls you want. Did it work for you? Was it sturdy enough with legs extended to keep from wobbling?

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.

Ours in hung from a metal pole about 1/2-3/4" diameter. The pole stand has that extra angled piece on the bottom that goes into the ground along with the regular pole; without that to help counterbalance a full feeder would likely bend the pole. We also hang a smaller, lighter feeder on opposite side.

The problem with post-mounting would be squirrels. They will climb up the post and start chewing the plastic parts to get to the seeds. I had mine hanging in a tree and they destroyed it! Now I have it on a birdfeeder pole with a squirrel deterrent. Hope this helps.

I purchased one so many months ago, I don't remember how it came...but if I remember correctly, the inventor of this feeder was on Shark Tank recently, so he may not have that type of packaging if he is starting out & doesn't have a big business yet. Just a guess. TIP: Don't leave this feeder unattended until you get the squirrels conditioned to stay off of it, because they will gnaw the bottom plastic to make the seed fall out. That is the only flaw I've noticed, everything else is great about this feeder.

Guess I am not quite sure what you mean, but the feeder has a wire piece at the top to hang on hook. Nothing on the side can be used as it would spoil the squirrel busting mechanism.

We had no problems with squirrels. We put it hanging off our porch and the birds loved it. Finished the entire feeder in 6 hrs. They loved it so much they started pooping all over our porch. We took it down and our now trying to find a sturdier hanger to place it in the yard. We wanted an attractive feeder and this looked great on our 1825 home..

The feeder does not have a mounting bracket. The tray has a wooden slat across the middle that can be screwed thru for mounting. I made a stand using a 4x4 post and 2x4s for feet. I mounted the tray to the post using 2 2" wood screws.
