Before getting to specific location suggestions, first think about your windows. Window glass reflects plants and sky, which can confuse birds. To minimize birds hitting your windows (which can birds), feeders should be either within three feet of a window or more than thirty feet away.
The best location for a bird feeder is typically a spot where birds can feel safe, yet squirrels cannot get to the bird food. Typically, this is close to, though not pressed against, some shrubbery. This spot allows birds to have a level of natural cover and natural shelter on at least one side.
Visibility: Position the feeder in a spot that is visible from your home, ideally near a window. Shelter: Place the feeder near natural cover, such as shrubs or trees. Distance from Predators: Avoid placing the feeder too close to areas where cats or other predators can easily reach the birds.
Installing Bird Buddy with mounts This also significantly reduces the possibility of attracting visitors such as mice, rats, or ants. You can mount your Bird Buddy on a pole, a wall, or a fence; the hanging cord that's included in the order also allows you to hang it from just about anywhere!
✔ Protect the bird feeder from harsh weather conditions — it needs to be shaded from too much sun and sheltered from a strong wind. ✔ Locate it within a short distance of trees or hanging from a tree, if possible.
Hang your bird feeder away from trees, bushes, fences or buildings. Squirrels and other predators may use these to climb or jump onto the bird feeder. If you must hang the bird feeder on a tree, keep it at least six feet from the trunk or the tree limbs.

I try to not put any feeders closer than 50 feet from a bird house. Depending on the bird species you're wanting to attract to a house you may need more space; or at least on a different side of your house.
Your options are twofold: Place feeder and birdbaths within three feet of the nearest window so that birds don't hurt themselves upon liftoff; or place them more than 30 feet away so that feeding birds have plenty of space to clear the house.
Clean the pine cone(s) and tie a long piece of twine around the bottom of each one. Gradually mix the lard with the birdseed until it all sticks together. Push the ball mix between the pine cone scales to create a big, tasty ball. Refrigerate your balls until the lard has set.
