What are the dimensions of each sunflower dish?

Can I leave these feeders out in the rain?
Yes, they are designed for outdoor use. However, it's recommended to clean them after heavy rain to prevent food spoilage and remove standing water.
Troubleshooting
Feeder is wobbly
Ensure the pole is inserted firmly into the ground or pot. For softer ground, consider using a stake or additional weight around the base for stability.
Dishes accumulating water
Clean out any debris that might be blocking drainage. The sunflower design naturally has some drainage, but heavy rain can still fill them; regular cleaning helps.
Birds not visiting
Try placing the feeder in a different location, perhaps closer to natural cover like bushes or trees. Experiment with different types of bird food to see what is most popular.
Rust appearing on the pole
Clean the affected area and apply a rust-inhibiting paint or sealant suitable for outdoor metal. Regular cleaning and drying can help prevent rust.
