Best Bird Feeder Pole Review 2017

One of the most enjoyable parts of garden, which doesn’t involve a lot of work, is the best bird feeder pole.

Here is something that needs minimal maintenance and can give you hours of viewing pleasure watching the wildlife that lives around you.

Not only that but you could actually be making their lives better when times are hard or they are building up food reserves for a long migratory flight.

The first part of deciding what to have in your garden to feed the feathered ones is the bird feeder pole.

So firstly we will look at what are available before moving onto the fun bit; what you can hang from them.

Freestanding Poles

If you have the room for a freestanding pole, these often come with multiple hooks to hang different feeders from as well as sometimes trays for additional types of food and even a little bird bath.

The main consideration into which is best for you is the space you have available to stand the feeder without it being too near the bushes or shrubs.

If the feeder is too near greenery, this may frighten the birds away from using it as there may be predators lurking in the depths.

You can also buy freestanding poles that are more like self-assembly kits, which allows you to customize what you have where.

Therefore, if you plan to site near a wall, you can arrange the hooks with a flat area to accommodate this.

Clamping Poles

Another type is ideal if you don’t have space in the garden but have a patio or decking area.

These typically clamp onto wood or metal and have a hook, which you can hang whatever type of manger you require from it.

Single Feeder Poles

The other option is a single manger, which has a built in pole beneath it.

This means you can stick it into the soil but doesn’t need the large amount of clearance room of the multi-hook systems.

There are various styles of these, from traditional apex birdhouses to mangers with multiple feeding ports and tiny perches at each.

Feeders

Once you have decided which is top bird feeder pole for your garden area, then the fun starts because there are huge amounts of different types of feeders and other products you can hang from the poles.

Seed Hoppers

Seed hoppers can be some of the largest mangers and the most simple.

The Woodlink NA6228 Hopper Cafe Bird is one such example, which holds seven pounds of seed and can be used by almost all types of birds.

It can be either pole mounted or hung from a hook and has a swivel top for ease of filling.

Tube Feeders

Tube Feeders are probably the most commonly seen type of mangers and can also come designed for special types of seed or of birds.

The typical tube manger will have multiple feeding ports with small perches from them so a few birds can feed at once to avoid squabbling.

They often have trays on the bottom to catch seed that falls and this allows the birds to collect it as well as helps prevent it falling to the ground leaving you with more weeding to do.

If you want to feed the birds but not necessarily other visitors such as squirrels, then some mangers come with shields at the top, which prevent all but the craftiest of mammals from getting at the prized seed.

Similarly, if you want to concentrate feeding on smaller birds you can get tube mangers that have a metal cage around them.

This stops squirrels and their friends as well as large birds such as crows but allows the smaller birds to simply slip in, feed and slip out again.

Specialist tube mangers include those such as the Bird’s choice Magnet Mesh Nyjer is ideal for fine seeds such as nyger, which will fall through normal feeders.

You can also find ones made from larger mesh, which are idea for peanuts.

Platform Feeders

Platform types can come for all different types of bird manger poles as well as standing on the ground.

Hanging platforms mean you can leave out other types of food apart from just seed such as greens or vegetables and can be shared by a multitude of garden visitors.

They can also have a roof to avoid the food being spoiled by bad weather, such as the Birds Choice Double Decker Hopper with Platform with Green Roof.

They are another specialist type designed for the special suet blocks or pellets you can get for birds. These are also available in squirrel-proof versions as well.

They can be hung from poles or even hooks attached to a wall and just turned periodically.

Cleaning

Remember to periodically clean all of your feeders to avoid the build-up of bacteria, especially in the warmer weather.

If you have water bowls on the stands, give them a wipe out each day as a mouldy substance forms on the bottom of them when water stands.

Warm water will do the job or a particular bird-safe disinfectant if you prefer.

Follow these few simply steps and you will have feathered friends visiting at all times of the year and patiently waiting to see what treat you are going to supply them with this time!
