Peckish Canto Energy Ball Feeder

This feeder is specifically designed for standard wild bird energy balls (also known as suet balls or fat balls).

It's recommended to clean the feeder every two weeks to maintain hygiene and prevent the spread of avian diseases. Use warm, soapy water and rinse well.

No, this feeder is not designed for loose seeds. The gaps are intended for energy balls, and loose seeds would likely fall out.

Besides providing food with feeders like this one, offer a clean water source, plant native shrubs and trees for shelter and nesting, and avoid using pesticides.

The design is intended to favor smaller birds. While larger birds might try, they often find it difficult to perch and feed effectively.

With regular care and maintenance, the feeder can last for several seasons. However, prolonged exposure to harsh weather may eventually degrade the materials.

Ensure the feeder is hung at least 5-6 feet from any supporting structure squirrels can jump from, and consider relocating it to a more exposed area if possible.

Try placing the feeder closer to natural cover, such as bushes or trees, to make birds feel more secure. Ensure the energy balls are fresh and appealing.

Check if the energy ball is a standard size. If it's slightly too large, gently compress it or try a different brand. Ensure no debris is blocking the opening.

Clean the feeder and dry it thoroughly. Apply a food-safe protective coating if available, or consider replacing it if the structural integrity is compromised.
