FAQs
Does the feeder come with the hanging hardware?

How often should I clean the feeder?
It is recommended to clean the feeding tray weekly, or more often if you notice debris or wet food accumulating.

Can I use any type of bird seed?
Yes, the central silo can accommodate most standard garden bird seed mixes.
Is the wood treated to withstand weather?
The feeder is designed for garden use, but we recommend placing it in a sheltered area to prolong the life of the wood.
Troubleshooting
Birds are not visiting the feeder
Ensure the feeder is placed in a visible, quiet location and try using high-quality bird seed to attract them.
Seeds are getting damp during heavy rain
Check that the roof is properly centered and ensure the feeder is not positioned in an area exposed to heavy wind-blown precipitation.
Larger birds are hogging the tray
Consider moving the feeder to a tighter spot or using a bird seed mix that is specifically formulated for smaller garden birds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your feeder, simply use the provided suspension tool to hang the unit from a sturdy branch or hook that can support its 385 mm wide frame. Ensure the feeder is hung at a height where it is visible to birds but out of reach for household pets. To clean, remove any uneaten or spoiled seeds from the tray regularly. Because the design is open, you can easily wipe down the feeding tray with a damp, soft cloth to prevent waste buildup. During winter, check the center silo periodically to ensure that moisture hasn't caused the feed to bridge or clog the dispensing area.
