Before it goes outside
Check the exact mount and any required adapters, the loaded weight, and whether you can safely reach the feeder for cleaning. Keep included parts visible on your shopping list so you do not buy them twice.
Jelly, fruit and nectar spoil quickly in warm weather: put out what the orioles finish in a day or two and wash the dishes every few days.
