Troubleshooting
Feeder not hanging securely
Ensure the hanger is properly attached to the feeder and that the hanging point (e.g., hook, branch) is stable and secure.
Fat balls not staying in place
Ensure you are using standard-sized fat balls. If balls are breaking apart, try a different brand or type of suet ball.
Limited bird activity
Try relocating the feeder to a more sheltered spot, away from strong winds or direct human activity. Ensure the fat balls are fresh and appealing.
Wire cage shows signs of rust or damage
