Troubleshooting
Birds are not visiting the feeder.
Ensure the feeder is placed in a safe, visible location away from heavy foot traffic or potential predators. Try a different type of birdseed or add a complementary feeder nearby. Clean the feeder if it appears dirty.
Seed is getting wet and clumping.
Confirm the feeder's roof is effectively covering the feeding tray. Check that the preservative treatment is intact; reapply if necessary following care instructions.
Wood appears faded or weathered.
This is natural weathering. For aesthetic and protective purposes, consider reapplying a bird-safe wood preservative as per care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This bird feeding house arrives fully assembled. Simply choose a suitable location in your garden and mount it securely. Ensure it is placed on a pole or hung from a sturdy branch where it is accessible to birds but relatively safe from predators like cats.
Compatibility: The feeding house is compatible with most standard bird seed mixes, nuts, and suet balls. Its open design allows for versatile feeding options.
Care: To maintain the longevity of the wood, it is recommended to clean the feeding house periodically. Remove old seed and droppings using a stiff brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals. While treated with a preservative, reapplication of a bird-safe, oil-based preservative every 1-2 years, particularly on exposed surfaces, can further enhance its weather resistance and appearance.
