This feeder is specifically designed for peanuts. Using smaller seed mixes may cause the food to fall through the inner tube mesh too easily.
It is recommended to clean the feeder every few weeks, or immediately if you notice any spoiled food or bird droppings.
No, the FeedSafe coating is designed to be completely safe for birds while inhibiting bacterial growth on the surface.
Yes, the metal cage is designed to be squirrel-proof as long as the squirrel cannot physically reach the cage with its paws from a nearby surface.
While it is designed for pole mounting, you can hang it from a branch if you ensure it remains stable and does not allow squirrels to drop onto it from above.
Check the positioning of the feeder; it must be at least 2 meters away from any structure a squirrel could jump from.
Give the birds time to get used to the new feeder. If birds do not visit after a week, move the feeder slightly closer to natural cover like a hedge.
Ensure the lid is fully closed and the feeder is not in a location that receives direct, wind-blown rain.
To set up your feeder, ensure it is securely mounted on a sturdy pole at a height that is easy for you to refill but out of reach for ground predators. Compatibility is high for standard garden poles; ensure the connection is tightened to avoid swaying in high winds. To maintain the FeederSafe properties, clean the unit regularly with a mild, bird-safe disinfectant solution. During refills, inspect the mesh for any debris or damp peanuts, as old or spoiled food can harbor bacteria even with the protective coating. Remove any wet or clumped food before adding fresh peanuts to keep the feeding environment safe.
