Troubleshooting

Squirrels are still accessing the food.

Ensure the feeder is not placed within jumping distance of trees, fences, or walls. Consider using a baffler above or below the feeder.

Birds seem hesitant to use the feeder.

Ensure the seed is fresh and appealing. Some birds may take time to get used to a new feeder; try placing it near existing feeding spots.

Feeder appears damaged after strong winds.

Check the hanging mechanism and the feeder's integrity. If significant damage occurred, a replacement may be necessary. Ensure it is securely hung.

The feeder is not draining properly after rain.

Check for any blockages in the drainage holes at the bottom of the feeder. Ensure the feeder is hung at a slight angle to allow water to run off.

Compatibility: This feeder is designed to work with most common wild bird seed mixes, including sunflower seeds and peanut bites. It is compatible with most standard hanging hooks, branches, and dedicated bird feeding stations.
