can you hang this owl? perhaps drill a hole in back of it or hang by its neck somehow?

It is not meant to be hung. I did however wire it to a tomato cage and placed it by my garden. The censor that operates it, really is very good. Without the movement of the head, birds especially robins, are not afraid of it. I was very disappointed with the thing as a whole. I don't recommend buying it.

I suppose you could screw something to hang it with in the back. I used mine for two days mounted to a piece of plywood on a post. It quit working after two days.

Good morning, Debra. You may use other hardware than a nail to hang the item. Please check with your local hardware store for further information. Thank you, Sarah | HearthSong Customer Service

We had it on our patio hanging from a hook. You could hang it from a tree which the birds might prefer. We used grape jelly in the little divits you can see on top, so we needed it flat. Hope that helps.

The base is a few inches square, so the owl may teeter on a narrow rail. I used cable ties to strap mine to a wood deck rail. It doesn't always keep the birds away.

It has a round loop at the top so I suppose you could hang it. I haven't tried it so don't know how straight it would hang.

I believe it could be hung. I has a handle and the bottom is hard to remove to clean so I don't think it would come off. And yes it would be suitable for 2 finches. I keep two parakeets in mine and they do fine.

You may hang this from a shepards hook without additional hardware. HOWEVER ! you should be aware that this product is not strong and if you use a shepherd hook and have squirrels or even worst, raccoons they will very rapidly learn to swing the item and drop it to the ground mine was not repairable after 3 drops. If this is not an issue, it should work ok. The hanging wire is strong and the loop is sufficient.

There is a handle on top of the cage, but would not be good for hanging. There are only the 3 access doors in front lined up no others.

Yes, you can use a bucket. I like Home Depots buckets because they don't weather rot as fast as others. Hanging doesn't work because the bucket will swing around and make it hard for the birds to get to the nipples. Support it on bricks or wooden beams that will allow the birds unrestricted access.

no one knows how or where you will want it hung. so they don't provide any thing extra except for short piece's of rope. maybe you have trees to hang it from, or patio posts or wall mount anchors like i used for two contact points and two tress for the other end.use longer ropes. i used garage door lift wire for one end to a tree because s red squirrel chewed thru it to get the rope for its nest

The base of the owl (the part that looks like a wood stump) has small screw holes at the sides. Truth be told, I had to drill them out as a couple of them did not go all the way through. So if you want to screw it in, you may need a 1/8" drill and the proper screws. Mine is screwed to a wood post in my yard. Now I would assume living in an apartment you could not do that... So here's an idea (and what I do when I attach the owl to an A-frame trellis in my raised garden bed). Screw the owl to a plank of wood that extends about 3-inches on either side. Then place that on your railing and hold the plank to the railing using a heavy velcro strap or something similar wrapped around the railing. Hope that helps! PS: For me, this Owl seems to work in keeping both bird and rats away, I also use reflective tape tied around my garden.

I didn't think about hanging it from the ceiling, but perhaps it could be done. I displayed mine as if sitting on the tarmac. I did hang up my Sikorsky CH-54A Sky Crane and it looks impressive.

The red cap on the top of the feeder has a hole that you can run a wire through to hang it in a tree or whatever location you choose to hang the feeder. You can also purchase this hanger from Amazon Perky-Pet 67 12-Inch Metal Hook for Bird Feeders

No there is not...it's a tin roof. It seems to me that it would not be too difficult to rig a system to hang it. I personally would not put a hook in the roof, because this bird house is hefty. I would use some heavy stainless steel wire, and put two eye hooks into the sides to mount it. You would have to be careful not to let the screws protrude inside of the house, because it could damage the occupants. You might have to use additional hooks to ensure it remains balanced. I plan to post a picture in the very near future, of my setup...good luck!

You can hang it from a tree limb but I would trim the limb so it does not get caught up. I am on my second owl ( the first one went on the injured and deferred list) to get rid of the woodpeckers. So far so good. What I did was to trim the top of an eight foot pine and put the owl right on the top. This way he flies as soon as the wind blows. I used duck tape and tied him on securely. He has scared my neighbors who drive by on occasion. The key is to convince the woodpeckers that my house is not a tree. Good luck.

I am not sure how you plan on hanging them, but as to whether you can drill into them, yes. I see no problem with drilling into them. I am not sure how hanging them would change how the pieces in the center hold together. I would say give it a try when this product goes on sale as I absolutely love them.
