Should you be concerned about a bird feeder being close to your house if you see mice feeding and will it attract rats too and will they try to get in to your house?

If your feeder is such that a large amount of seed is falling to the ground, yes it will attract rodents. You can either switch feeders or get a add on platform that catches the seed and stops it from falling to the ground, allowing the birds to eat it and not be wasted. I have added a link below for this type of product for your bird feeder.

How do you get humming birds to land on you?
I've done it, but it takes a lot of patience. I've also taken some great up-close photos of them while they were feeding. I even have a photo of them feeding from my hand (the feeder is in my palm). Hang a humming bird feeder low enough so you can watch them at eye level while they feed. Watch them from a distance to see when their busiest feeding time of the day is. You have to stand very, very still, about 2 feet away from the feeder, and try not to even blink while they are feeding. After a day or so, when they are used to seeing you, take the feeder down and place it in your palm, with your arm out stretched. Do this during their busiest feeding time when there will be more of them present. Hold your outstretched arm, with the feeder in the palm of your hand very, very still. You may even have to put something to brace your arm on. The birds should then begging to feed from the feeder, then gradually light on your hand and/or arm.

Not really. Most likely when the orioles come the hummingbirds will fly away. However, when the oriole leaves the hummingbirds will return again. If the hummingbirds do not return put up a oriole feeder that should keep it away from the hummingbird feeder.
What are a raccoons' dietary needs?
Suet that I put out for the birds! First, the suet was taken out of the feeder--when I tied it shut, I found it on the ground empty--then, the whole feeder disappeared... This morning I actually SAW the culprit in the tree at the feeder (which I'd left empty) It ran off as soon as I came out of my door--now I want to leave out food specifically for it so that the woodpeckers that frequent the feeder will stil have food!

If a squirrel was near a bird-feeder will the birds stay away from the bird-feeder?
Not in my experience. I put up a four perch feeder on a tree in myfront yard. A squirrel reached over to feed from it. I chased it away. The birds still came at feeding time to eat. I just wish there was a way to keep the House Sparrows away from it. They are so aggressive when they feed. Attacking each other and the Cardinals that I do attract. I extended the feeder out more to keep the acrobatic squirrel out and taped off three of the perches. This kept the crowding down and the cardinals have more to eat when they come now.
