Troubleshooting

Birds not eating the pellets

Ensure feeders are clean and accessible. Birds may be hesitant to try a new food; try mixing a small amount with a familiar food. Check if the pellets have become too dry or stale.

Pellets becoming moldy

This can happen if the food becomes wet or is left out for too long in humid conditions. Remove any moldy food immediately. Store the remaining food in a dry, airtight container. Offer smaller amounts more frequently.

Attracting unwanted pests (e.g., rodents)

Avoid scattering large amounts of food on the ground. Use feeders that are designed to deter larger animals. Clean up any spilled food promptly.
