Pole
Birdfy pole or a standard feeder pole?
Birdfy's own pole costs $199.99–299.99. Any sturdy feeder pole works if the baffle and the distances are right:
- Cone baffle at least 17 in in diameter below a pole feeder about 5 ft up; pole at least 10 ft from shrubs, trees or tall structures (Audubon).
- Audubon (Fall 2025): baffle 4–5 ft off the ground; set-up 8–10 ft from anything solid.
- Moving (spring-loaded) baffles give squirrels no grip: Squirrel Stopper baffles move up/down and side to side on 3 stainless springs.
- Check pole diameter: wrap-around baffles here fit 1/2 to 1-3/8 in poles; Squirrel Stopper standard up to 2 in; 4x4 posts need a post baffle.
Compared: feeder poles and baffles.

Questions
Birdfy accessories: questions
Which solar panel do I need for Birdfy?
Birdfy recommends 3 W for single-camera feeders and 5 W or 8 W for dual-camera models. The chew-proof versions protect the cable from squirrels.
Does Birdfy sell a pole?
Yes – the Birdfy Pole costs $199.99 and the Pole Pro $299.99 in the US store (30 September 2026). A standard feeder pole with a 17-inch baffle does the same job for less.
How do I stop squirrels chewing my Birdfy?
Mount it on a pole about 5 feet high with a wide baffle, 8–10 feet from anything squirrels can jump from, and use a chew-proof solar cable or Birdfy's metal seed guard.
Do Birdfy members get a discount on accessories?
Yes – 15% with Membership Plus and 20% with Pro.
