Default Bird feeders

I was wondering if bird feeders are allowed. Someone said they would attract too many bugs and critters. Does anyone know about this? Thanks!

I have a tube type bird feed, a bird bath, and a blue bird house.

Tube feeders prevents the birds from wasting the sunflower seeds when they have to put their
head completely in the feeder.

Allowed? Yes. Recommended? Nope. Attract rats and other vermin...

We never feed birds.
Plenty of natural food and water around these parts.
Back home just keep bird bath full for drinking and bathing, and only feed birds when snow and ground frozen.

Bird feeders yes bring the birds, and you can put them in your backyard and side yard. But the will bring in mice, and to follow the mice comes the snakes none of wich I want to have in my yard. I would stick with maybe a humming Bird feeder and attract the bee's and birds
