Troubleshooting

Birds are not visiting the feeder.

Relocate the feeder to a more visible or sheltered spot. Ensure the feeder is clean and the seed is fresh. Try different feeder types to see what attracts the birds in your area.

Seed is getting wet or moldy.

Ensure the feeder is protected from rain and snow. Clean the feeder regularly and replace any wet or moldy seed. Consider using a feeder with a roof.

Unwanted pests are attracted to the feeder.

Clean up spilled seed regularly. Consider using a pest-resistant feeder or placing the feeder away from areas where pests may congregate. Ensure the seeds are stored in an airtight container.

Seed is clumping together.

This could be due to moisture. Ensure the seed is stored properly in a cool, dry place. Clean out any old or wet seed.
