FAQs
What is the best location to place the bird bath and feeder?
Place it in a location that offers birds a sense of security, such as near bushes or trees, but with enough open space around it for easy observation and approach.
How often should I refill the water or seed?
Water should be changed daily or whenever it becomes dirty to ensure it's fresh and clean for the birds. Seed should be refilled as needed, typically every few days depending on consumption.
Can I leave this product outside all year round?
While designed for outdoor use, it is recommended to bring the bird bath and feeder indoors during harsh winter conditions or prolonged periods of extreme weather to preserve its finish and integrity.
What type of bird seed is best to use?
Most standard bird seed mixes suitable for small garden birds will work well. Avoid large nuts or seeds that may be difficult for smaller birds to handle.
How do I clean the rustic finish?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the decorative finish.
Is assembly required?
No assembly is required. The product comes ready to be placed in your garden after pushing the stake into the ground.
Troubleshooting
Bird bath/feeder is unstable
Ensure the stake is pushed deeply into firm, level ground. If the ground is soft, consider placing it in a more compact area or near a stable plant base.
Birds are not visiting
Try a different location in your garden, perhaps closer to cover like bushes or trees. Experiment with offering different types of bird seed or ensure the water is fresh.
Dish is difficult to clean
Use a soft brush or sponge with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly. Regular cleaning prevents buildup and makes it easier.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up your bird bath and feeder, simply push the stake firmly into the ground in your desired garden location. Ensure the stake is deeply embedded for stability. Once secured, fill the leaf-shaped dish with fresh water or bird seed.
Compatibility: This product is designed for outdoor garden use. It is compatible with most standard bird seed mixes and plain water. It can be placed on various ground types, provided they are firm enough to support the stake.
Care: Clean the leaf-shaped dish regularly to maintain hygiene. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the entire unit as needed.
