Placing out the bird table or seed dispenser
Mounting on a pole is very suitable if you wish to follow the life at the bird table, but in that case you have to make sure it is placed on a stable pole.
Before you place out your table you ought to consider a few points.
* Place it so that you can see it from your window and enjoy the bird life
* Place it so that it is easily accessible for refilling food
* Make sure that there isn’t too much running about where you plan to place your table
* The table may well be placed close to a shrub where birds can hide if they are frightened
* A bird table makes for some litter so make sure it doesn’t bother your neighbours
