FAQs
How do I assemble the bird table?
Assembly is straightforward. Use the included fixings and follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the packaging. Typically, it involves attaching the platform to the post and then the roof.
What type of bird food can I use?
This bird table is suitable for most types of bird food, including seeds, nuts, suet balls, and mealworms. Ensure food is fresh and suitable for small to medium garden birds.
Where is the best place to position the bird table in my garden?
Place the bird table in an open area where birds feel safe from predators, but with a clear view. Avoid placing it too close to dense shrubbery. A location near a window allows for easy observation.
How often should I clean the bird table?
It's best to clean the bird table regularly, ideally once a week, to prevent the build-up of old food and potential disease transmission. A quick wipe-down with a damp cloth is usually sufficient.
What are the dimensions of the bird table?
The bird table measures approximately H145 x W58 x D58cm.
Can this bird table be used in all weather conditions?
Yes, it is designed for outdoor use. The slanted roof provides some protection from rain, but it's advisable to ensure food is not left to become waterlogged, and to clean the table regularly.
Does the bird table come with any warranty?
Please refer to your purchase receipt or the B&Q website for specific warranty information, as this can vary by retailer and purchase date.
Troubleshooting
Bird table is wobbly or unstable.
Ensure all fixings are tightened securely. Check that the bird table is placed on a level surface. If in a very windy area, consider using stakes (not included) to secure the base to the ground.
Birds are not visiting the feeder.
Ensure the feeder is filled with appropriate food. Try different types of bird seed or treats. Clean the feeder if it appears dirty. Relocate the feeder to a more visible or sheltered spot.
Wood shows signs of wear or weathering.
Clean the bird table thoroughly. Apply a bird-safe wood sealant or treatment annually to protect the wood from the elements.
