can this feeder be mounted from the bottom as opposed to hung?

Sure, the base is pretty sturdy- but you'll have to find the hardware yourself (i.e. screws, mounting bracket, etc), there's nothing built-in, like a pole-top mount or anything.

The bottom of the feeder is rounded. The feeder is designed with a hook to be hung from a tree or a hook.

Mine is mounted vertically with the water coming in the bottom but I don't see why it couldn't be the other way.

I have only used this feeder as a hanging feeder (suspended from shepherd hooks). I have not attempted to mount it on a pole. Sorry I can't answer your questions. I have made several purchases of these feeders for my use.

Needs to hang. I don't see any provision on the bottom for it to be pole mounted.

There's a hole (roughly 1/4-inch) on the bottom of the feeder for mounting. This is a wonderful feeder for hanging, hummingbirds love it.

I'm not sure you can. The way the roof is hinged, you might just be opening the feeder when it hangs. You might be able to rig something with some eyes on the end panels but I'm unsure if that would cause stability issues.

Hi, the feeder has a space at the center of the bottom of it that extends inward about 1 1/4" with a diameter maybe 1/2" or so. I would assume that is exactly what it is made to do. I do not think bracket mounting would be a great idea, but might work if doesn't bend the metal base which screws onto the clear plastic. I just tried a metal rod for size while the feeder was totally full and there were no problems or damage. Keep in mind that the top must come off to add the seed, and after a few birds the feeder will be bottom heavy anyway(that's good for pole mounting). I hope this helps. later

No. Can be hung from crook pole, wire line etc. your own feeder attaches under the dome, dome hangs from above.

Yes, there is a vinyl coated wire that you attach and make a hanging cord out of it. You might need to use some needle nosed pliers so you can bend it into a little round hook at the top and also bend it to hook onto the feeder itself. It doesn't end up being very long once you make those little attach circles, maybe only 3-5" long.

Yes. It has a hook on top and a hook on bottom. Extremely simple to install with dual hooks. If your square feeder hangs straight down and does not extend over the dome, then it should work great. It could be any shape of feeder as long as it hangs down and is smaller in diameter than dome. It is not bulky and looks great. Good value. The Seller shipped in a timely manner and without damage. It looks exactly like the picture. I liked the dome because it was boutique and not overwhelming to take away from bird sightings. I also installed a tubular, cylindrical green baffle at the bottom of my feeder pole to discourage squirrels and chipmunks from eating bird feed. Everything works great. Hope this helps. Dennis

This feeder is really meant to be hung from a hook or sheperd's pole. The hole's are not large but they are big enough for small birds to eat from. Hope this helps you.

By itself, no. With modification to a straight pole or the product itself, yes. The mesh sits in a groove around the perimeter of the feeder. You could always drill a hole in the center of the mesh into a wooden pole or metal if your drill can handle it.

it can be pole mounted. you will to drill fasteners thru the floor of the feeder. should be simple with a cordless drill. that is how i installed mine.

Yes, note the hook above the dome. Hook underneath for the bird feeder, hook on top for hanging.

There is no hole on the bottom -- so you would need a skilled carpenter to alter it for pole mounting.

The feeder comes with the mount. It screws on to the bottom of the feeder. You just need the pole. I bought the perky-pet one. Works great so far.
