Troubleshooting

Swans and ducks are not eating the food initially.

Reduce the amount of bread and gradually introduce the Wild Things food. It may take a few days for them to adjust.

Food is clumping together.

Ensure the food is stored in a dry place. If clumping occurs, discard the affected portion.

Unwanted animals are attracted to the feeding area.
