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.
Feeding wildlife is illegal in California. Section 251.1 of the California Fish and Game Code states that feeding a wild animal can be considered animal harassment. People can be fined up to $1,000 for feeding a squirrel in California.
Trying suet dough () products, fruits, and nut mixes increases the types of foods that the birds can choose. More fun though, is that an assortment of foods will ultimately increase the different birds that will come to your yard.

In most cases, the HOA reserves the right to enforce penalties or compel the removal of unauthorized structures. Homeowners may face fines, legal action, or the obligation to dismantle the patio at their own expense. Such infractions can strain relations with the HOA and impact property resale value.
Generally speaking, most HOAs can control anything that is visible from outside the house. So that includes anything that goes on outside, up to the siding, roofing, etc on the house itself. It wouldn't be too far of a stretch to assume they would have requirements for backyard items.
It is legal for the HOA to have and enforce this rule IF it is in the bylaws and is part of the terms you agreed to when you bought into the association. However, whether bird feeders would qualify as a noxious, offensive or illegal activity is something that is very subjective.
