Sometimes at my home I'll leave my wire cage trap (hinged door) on the
deck, sitting on its projector stand outside a living room window, for
several days at a time. When I'm not actively trapping, I close the door
and hang the feeder from the wooden rod outside the trap, so birds can get
used to being near a trap without risk of getting caught with no one to
remove them. This works especially well during migrations, when every day
brings new hummers that may be wary of anything unfamiliar.

However, ever since then, I hang the feeder *outside* the front of the
(I have an older, hinged drop door instead of a vertically falling one). If
a bird seems particularly shy, I then place the feeder *just* inside the
door and allow it to come in under the hinged door. Then I just move the
feeder back into trapping position inside the feeder.
