Bird Feeder Poles, Hooks & Mounting Hardware
Essential to any successful bird feeding station is proper mounting and protection. Bird feeders need secure placement, and we offer sturdy bird feeder poles in various heights and designs. These durable poles provide stable support while keeping feeders at ideal heights for both viewing and bird access. For added stability and versatility, many poles feature multiple hooks to accommodate several feeders, allowing you to offer different types of food to attract a variety of bird species.
Squirrel Baffles for Bird Feeders
Squirrel baffles are dome- or cone-shaped barriers that block squirrels from reaching bird feeders. Installed above or below the feeder, they help protect seed, prevent feeder damage and keep birds from being scared away. Simple to add and highly effective, baffles are a must-have for any backyard bird setup. If squirrels are common in your area, it’s a good idea to install a baffle on each feeder.
Protect Bird Food with a Weather Guard
A weather guard is a dome-shaped cover that sits above a bird feeder to shield it from rain, snow and harsh sunlight. By keeping moisture out, it helps prevent seed spoilage, mold growth and clumping so that birds have access to fresh, dry food.
Weather guards also offer some protection from falling debris and can deter larger birds or squirrels from landing directly on the feeder. Easy to install and compatible with most hanging feeders, they’re a smart addition for maintaining a clean, functional feeding station in any season.
Hummingbird Swings and Feeder Accessories
For hummingbird enthusiasts, we carry specialized accessories like ant moats and bee guards that keep nectar feeders pest-free. These simple yet effective solutions help ensure your nectar stays fresh and accessible only to hummingbirds. Set up a hummingbird swing to give these tiny flyers a convenient perch from which to rest.
