Is there any rules against having a small bird feeder in the back yard ?

I had feeders up for about 6 months when we first moved here. Saw very little activity from the song birds. Then realized that it was too open for them. They were uncomfortable feeding in the open (not many trees in our back yard). We also have a lot of hawks and owls in our neck of the woods. Decided to take down the feeders as it would make them more vulnerable to their predators. Besides, Avian flu is still around and attracting birds en mass is not a good idea at this point in time.
