Adding a bird feeder to your yard is a great way to attract feathered visitors and enjoy a little more nature from home. The ideal spot gives birds a place to feel safe while making it easy for them to find and for you to enjoy.
Birds like having nearby places where they can quickly retreat if they feel threatened. Hanging your feeder close to a tree or shrub gives birds a convenient place to hide while they wait their turn at the feeder or take a break between visits.

While birds need nearby cover, your feeder should also be easy for them to see. An open location helps passing birds spot the feeder and gives them a clear approach.
You’ll also want to place the feeder far enough away from trees, fences, roofs, or other structures that squirrels and other pests can’t easily jump onto it. A little extra distance can go a long way toward keeping your bird food for the birds!
