delcecchi Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 My suet feeder is hanging from a wire. Maybe I need to fasten one to a tree. How high off the ground is good? I'm thinking maybe 5 feet or so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeguy 54 Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 I think they might like it better fastened to something. The one in the pic is up 7 feet but I have others a bit lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delcecchi Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 How do they like the lower ones? I would rather not have to get the ladder out to refill it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyeguy 54 Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 might take a month. I would put it further from tube feeders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is problem with tube feeders? They aren't getting used much so I could just take them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeguy 54 Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 I sure wouldn't. sometime mine are quite for a long time and then crazy at times. have you seen woodpeckers in the area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delcecchi Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 We have downy, hairy, and red bellied. The local power company has been wrapping the big poles a couple blocks away with hardware cloth due to woodpecker damage. So I figured it was worth a try. Pileated might show up some time. Didn't cost much to try. I still don't understand why the tube feeders would be a problem when trying to attract woodpeckers to the suet. But I will likely take down the tubes soon since they aren't getting much use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeguy 54 Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 might not be a problem but when I have suet right by the sunflowers it hardly ever gets hit. probably 20 feet away now the one that gets hit the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. Well the tube feeder will be coming down shortly anyway, and the platform will be stored also once it is mowing time (It's a very heavy treated wood platform that used to hold a pressure tank for the well, before the city engulfed me.) Made out of treated 2x6 and 4x4, no bird will break it down. So not too long and it is eat suet or nothing around here, unless sugar water is your thing.
