How do I attach the feeder to my window?
The feeder comes with strong rubber suction pads. Clean your window surface, moisten the pads, and press them firmly against the glass for secure attachment.
Can I hang the feeder instead of using suction cups?
Yes, an additional hanging rope is included. You can use this to hang the feeder from a tree branch or another suitable outdoor hook.
How often should I clean the feeder?
It is recommended to clean the feeder regularly, ideally every 1-2 weeks, or more often if you notice wet food or spoilage, to maintain a hygienic environment for the birds.
What birds can I expect to see?
You may attract common garden birds such as great tits, blue tits, sparrows, starlings, and robins, depending on your local environment and the food offered.
Is the feeder durable?
The feeder is constructed from clear Perspex, making it durable for outdoor use. However, like all plastic, it can be susceptible to scratches over time.
Can children watch the birds safely?

Troubleshooting
Feeder not sticking to the window
Ensure the window surface and suction cups are clean and dry. Re-moisten the suction cups slightly and press firmly. Extreme temperatures may affect suction; try relocating to a more sheltered spot.
Birds are not visiting the feeder
Ensure the feeder is filled with attractive food types like seeds or mealworms. Birds may take a few days to discover a new feeder. Try placing it in a more visible location or near existing bird activity.
Food becomes wet or moldy
This is often due to rain if not sheltered, or insufficient cleaning. Clean the feeder thoroughly and ensure it is completely dry before refilling. Consider a location with some overhead protection or a food type less susceptible to moisture.
Feeder is difficult to clean
Empty all food and debris. Use a soft brush with warm, soapy water to clean the interior and exterior. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before reassembling and refilling. Ensure all parts are properly separated if designed for it.
