If hanging your bird feeders from a tree branch, you may want to use a squirrel-resistant feeder and food that squirrels dislike (such as safflower seeds or bird food seasoned with cayenne pepper).
You can hang bird feeders almost anywhere you want with a deck hanger or freestanding hook. These hangers, depending on the model, can hold one to four bird feeders. They are also easily movable, so you can move the feeders to a different location at different times of the year or just because you don’t like the view when you’re done.
