Can bird feeders get wet
Don't let a little wet weather spoil your enjoyment of watching birds feed in the rain, as feeders are made to withstand what nature has to throw at it.

Birdhouses are permanent homes for wild birds, so to pull it down would only deter birds who wish to use the birdhouse to roost come wintertime.
Do Hummingbird feeders need shade
Hummingbird feeders are expected to benefit with a shaded location, but there's no guarantee the conditions created will maintain the nectar.
What makes a Bluebird house, a Bluebird house
What is so unique about a Bluebird house is its use of a 1-1/2 inch entry hole; 8 inch high hole position; floor size of 4 by 4 inches; must be 10 inches tall.
Should Hummingbird feeders be high or low
I don't believe a hummingbird feeder can be too high, as the further up the safer it becomes, whereas a lower location is not without concern.
How to make a birdhouse hole smaller
With a little know-how it is possible to reduce the size of a birdhouse entry hole, with use of a DIY block of wood or a metal ring, baring the new hole size.
Should bird feeders be kept full
Do avoid filling your bird feeders to the top as wastage is a high probability; fill a third of the way or half way up, then use more or less as you see fit.
Should bird feeders be brought in at night
Feeders should be brought in at night if an overnight forecast is expected to uproot the feeders, but as a rule feeders shouldn't really be disturbed.

Feeders can be way off the ground if the height is made accessible to you, but a 4 to 6 feet placement is more standard, yet made easier to bird watch.
Where do you hang a suet feeder
Rely on the natural cover of a tree or hedgerow if available to you; if not you can make use of a bird feeding station to hang a suet feeder securely.
