Repositioning of bird feeders?

[kielder]

On the back of a packet of bird seed it recommends moving the bird feeders periodically due to unhygienic deposits, I was wondering if anyone actually does this?

Hi I know a lot of the books suggest this but I inagine its for people who have it over the grass,I myself have slabs surrounding my feeding station and I sweep up excess seed twice a day and wash it down with a mild dissinfectiong substance at the back of the slabs is the wildlife part of the garden and I occasionally sweep excess seed onto here as well and let it grow and this gives the birds extra feed during the later parts of the year from the seed heads

Nope, guilty as charged!!!

I don't clear up as often as I should.........you get some very pretty flowers from dropped seed. Nyger/niger produces very pretty blue flowers.

We have moved ours fairly regularly. More in search of a spot the squirrels and next door's cats will like less, though.
