1. Feeder styles and seed
Mesh tube feeders suit nyjer and small seed; platforms suit larger visitors. Smart solar feeders add cameras for ID. Match seed to local species and skip mouldy leftovers.
2. Poles, height and cats
A sturdy feeder pole with multiple hooks keeps stations organised. Mount high enough that cats cannot leap from fences. Place near shrubs for escape cover without hiding predators.
3. Pair with bird baths
Fresh water matters as much as seed in hot weather. Solar bird-bath fountains keep water circulating. Refresh regularly and scrub algae — stagnant water breeds mosquitoes.
4. Hygiene and neighbours
Clean feeders weekly in warm months. Be considerate of apartment by-laws and neighbours regarding mess. Pause feeding during rodent issues and resume with tighter trays.
