Can you mount this on a pole? Also are the holes really smaller than other feeders? My last feeder had very large holes and the large black birds would make a mess spraying seed everywhere because too much food would dispense onto the tray. EDIT:...

Yes the holes are small so not much seed ( I use sunflower seeds only ) is wasted or kicked out. As for mounting on a pole, I have it mounted on a pipe pole that has a flange on top. This is a nice and good looking feeder.

Yes, I have mine on a pole. You have to mount a plate on the bottom that don't come with it. I took the one off my old birdfeeder. You can buy the plates at most places that carry birdfeeders. I love my feeder:)

These feeders come with a bracket for mounting on poles. They are excellent feeders and I enjoy mine very much. Dan

go to droll yankees own website to check. The plastic nut that screws this to the base of the feeder is 4 sided square however not so long.I would not trust it to secure to a pole.

The diameter of the hole for pole mounting this feeder is 3/4 inches. The feeder is approximately 4 lbs, and holds 11 lbs of seed, so the pole used to hold this feeder would need to be strong enough to support this amount of weight.

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.

Yes you can. All you need is a mounting bracket which you can get from a birding supply store. Just make sur it will fit the diameter of the pole, then drill the pilot holes and drive some wood screws and you're done.

I agree with the first comment. Cardinals can use the feeder, but seem to prefer a platform style feeder. I have seen them sitting on the ground under the Squirrel Solutions Feeder waiting for another bird to spill seed onto the ground!

The bottom does not seem very heavy and I think you'd have to make some modifications to mount this on a pole. I don't know what holes you are comparing to, but these are only half an inch high but very wide. The seed streams into the tray that is a 3/4" wide gutter around the seed container. The largest bird I've seen on ours has been a starling, but the sparrows do tend to make a mess while they pick out their favorite seeds while throwing the rest on the ground (but that makes the turtle doves happy!)

We do not have ours mounted on a pole, we just hang ours from a shepherds hook. If you already have the feeder I suggest taking the mounting part which is loose inside the feeder to your local hardware store and see what they recommend.

I would think you could. I mounted mine on a copper post. I took a 2x4 and mounted it on the bottom of the feeder lengthwise with screws. Then I mounted a metal flange on to the 2x4 with screws also. I then screwed the flange onto the copper pipe. I'm pretty sure they make metal mounts for wooden posts and you could find them in the hardware store where they keep the decking materials.

When I bought my feeder the Ace Hardware where I go it did not have the pole in stock. I went to the Homestead site on the internet and ordered the pole through them. My suggestion is to take the feeder and your pole to a hardware store, Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. and see if they have a cap that would fit so you can mount your feeder on the pole. I don't know where you as in big city or small but a machine shop might also be able to solve your problem. I hope that this helps.

Hey - it will fit right on top of the pole - there's a hole/indentation in the bottom of the bird feeder and you just place it on top of the pole

You can screw the flange shown to the bottom of the bird house. The flange then fits tightly onto the pole. That is how I mounted my bird house. I only used 3 of the 4 pole sections because I drilled a hole in an old stump rather than put a hole in the ground. The pole is a nice heavy weight I am pleased with it and would definitely buy it again.

It doesn't have a bracket for putting on a pole. It has a cord to hang it. In order to fill this feeder you have to take the metal screen off, so you might want to reconsider putting it on a pole. You have to turn the metal screening to unhook it from the locks and then pull up and off to expose the top of the plastic cylinder inside to fill. Then the screening goes back over the cylinder and locks again to hang from the cable that is attached to the metal screening. This is the best feeder and all my birds love it this is the second one I've purchased as Mr. Bear flattened the first one. They go to this feeder first then if it's full of birds they will go to one of the other feeders but they all prefer this feeder. I have mine hanging from my deck under the overhang. This feeder is made to last. The first one I had lasted 5 years and still was as good as new except for being flattened and the plastic seed holder smashed. I've had this one for quite awhile now and the birds love it just as much as the first one. You won't be disappointed if you purchase it. But like I said it's made for hanging.

You may need a little collar on the pole to keep the feeder from going more than a few inches onto the pole. Otherwise it would be hard to remove for filling.

Only if it has a place to hang. What makes it work is if the cage has squirrel weight on it making it drop down to cover seed ports. I have the large feeder with the cardinal ring and this one. This one the flickers, creepers and blue jays particularly enjoy because they can hang on the cage in any position. Brome, to me, is the best feeders on the market! We live in a rural forested area and its not unusual to have up to 30 - 40 squirrels trying to do anything and everything to get in the feeders. They even wrap theirselves around the cardinal ring and nap. Their only success is to do a flying assault to knock seed out on the ground.
