I just started feeding the birds in backyard in January. Great responses already. Yeah, you can spend quite a bit of money on different feeders that you may end up rotating around depending on how you see fit. As mentioned below, taking into consideration what your backyard/garden is like and how well manicured does it need to stay will make a difference.
Low maintenance could just be a hanging tray feeder like this https://www.amazon.com/Woodlink-Going-Platform-Feeder-GGPLAT/dp/B002W8PVWK/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_86_tr_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=GTC7GY5NPPDWR5TCY6RW . you can also invest in some of those hanging planter chains so you can extend the feeder lower depending on how high your branches or structure are.
​
Low maintenance could also just be spreading some no-mess seed like sunflower kernels on the ground around or under the bushes to get them interested but also feeding in a relatively more protected area due to your hawk.
​
You'll want to evaluate how you feel about the hawk in the grand scheme of things as attracting more birds may attract hawk attention and/or even disease.
​
Getting one of those Shepherd's hooks with the multiple hanging attachment points is good as well esp if no good trees around or you need to keep it far away from a squirrel launching point. Those tube feeders are relatively low maintenance although you definitely will need to spend a little more time cleaning them every so often.
​
Hummingbird feeders are pretty neat as well if you see or hear any in the area. The nectar recipe is super easy, but you do have to replace the nectar more often in hot/warmer weather or else it gets moldy, so that is also one more thing to do or focus on.
​
One other point is the mention about the water features for drinking and bath. I underestimated this part, but depending on water availability around you from nature ponds/lakes/rivers/streams vs neighbors, water will be a huge thing to offer and isn't that hard to maintain. Even a terra cotta base would be a start.
​
Good luck!
