    it's a staple.  they come in multiple sizes and were frequently used in electrical work to staple romex to the rafters in a house.  [and they're installed with a hammer, not a staple gun]

    You are describing a staple.  They come in many shapes and forms.  Such as what you have/use to staple sheets of paper together.  A bird feeder is fairly small and delicate, so you need a suitable staple.  Look at one for attaching electrical cable to the house framing.
