FAQs
How often should I refill the bird feeder?

Is this seed mix suitable for all types of birds?
This mix is specifically designed for smaller garden birds. While it may attract some larger birds, it is formulated to deter them.
How should I store the seed mix?
Store the seed mix in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and pests.
Can I use this mix in all seasons?
Yes, this mix is suitable for year-round feeding. However, consider adjusting the amount based on weather conditions and bird activity.
How do I clean my bird feeder?
Clean your bird feeder regularly with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before refilling.
Why is it important to use a wheat-free mix?
Some birds have sensitivities to wheat, and a wheat-free mix ensures they can feed without digestive issues. It also caters to those with dietary preferences.
How long will the 12.75kg sacks last?
The duration will vary depending on the number of birds and the frequency of feeding. A rough estimate is several weeks to months, depending on usage.
Troubleshooting
Feeder is attracting too many larger birds.
Adjust the feeder type to one that caters to smaller birds or move the feeder to a more secluded location.
Birds are not visiting the feeder.
Ensure the feeder is clean and properly filled. It may take time for birds to discover a new food source; be patient.
Seed is becoming moldy.
Clean the feeder more frequently and ensure the seed is stored in a dry place. Reduce the amount of seed in the feeder during periods of high humidity.
