FAQs
What type of bird seed is best to use?
A mix of sunflower seeds, millet, and nyjer seeds is generally attractive to a wide variety of garden birds. Avoid using bread or processed human food, as these are not suitable for birds.
How often should I clean the feeder?
It is recommended to clean the feeder every 1-2 weeks, or more often if you notice signs of mold or if it becomes particularly wet.
What are the dimensions of the feeder?
The feeder measures 30cm in height, 19cm in width, and 15cm in depth.
How much seed does it hold?
The feeder can hold up to 680g of bird seed.
Is the bamboo treated or sealed?
The bamboo is naturally weather-resistant but is not typically treated with artificial sealants, aligning with its eco-friendly design.
Can this feeder be left out in winter?
Yes, it can be left out in winter, but it's advisable to ensure seed remains dry and to offer high-energy seeds. In areas with heavy snow or extreme frost, consider a sheltered location or bringing it in during the worst conditions.
What is the roof made of?
The roof is made of bamboo and is finished in a chocolate brown color.
Troubleshooting
Feeder is not attracting birds
Ensure the feeder is filled with fresh, appealing bird seed. Try a different type of seed. Check that the location is safe and accessible for birds, away from constant human or pet activity.
Seed is getting wet despite the roof
Confirm the roof is properly seated and not damaged. Ensure the feeder is hung in a location that avoids direct, heavy rain exposure if possible. Clean any debris from the roof's edges.
Bamboo shows signs of mold or discoloration
Clean the feeder thoroughly with a diluted vinegar or mild soap solution, rinse well, and dry completely in the sun before refilling. Avoid overfilling if rain is imminent.
Jute rope appears frayed
Replace the jute rope with a new, sturdy rope or weather-resistant cord to ensure the feeder can be hung securely.
