Hi Moni, thank you for being responsible. I am a bird bander and sometimes
band at sites with bird feeders. I usually recommend 2-3 weeks, as that
allows time for diseased birds to either move on or pass away (sad to think
about, but then at least they will not be spreading disease at the feeder).
Make sure to scoop up and dispose of whatever feeder debris you can from
the ground, and wear gloves while doing so / wash hands after.
