FAQs
What type of food can I put in this feeder?
This feeder is specifically designed for standard bird suet fat balls.
Does the copper finish rust?
While the material is durable, the copper colour may develop a natural patina or show signs of weathering over long periods of outdoor exposure.
How do I clean the feeder?
Use warm water and mild dish soap with a brush to clean the mesh, then rinse thoroughly and let it dry completely.
Can I hang this from a thin branch?
Yes, the feeder includes a large, sturdy hanging hook designed to fit over tree branches or standard garden shepherd's hooks.
Is the lid secure?
The lid is designed to be easy to lift for refilling while staying in place to protect the feed from the elements.
Troubleshooting
Birds are not visiting the feeder
Ensure the feeder is in a quiet, visible spot and allow a few days for local bird populations to discover the new food source.
Suet is falling out of the mesh
Check if the fat balls are of standard size; if they are too small, they may slip through the grid. Ensure the lid is closed tightly.
Mold or residue on the metal grill
Use a designated bird-safe disinfectant or a warm soapy water solution and a long-handled brush to scrub the mesh thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the feeder is straightforward; simply lift the lid to fill the cylinder with fat balls and hang it using the retractable hook. Compatibility is high as it works with all standard-sized fat balls. To ensure the hygiene of your garden visitors, perform a deep clean at least once a month. Use a mild soap solution and a stiff brush to scrub the metal mesh, ensuring all old food particles are removed. Allow the feeder to dry completely before refilling to prevent mold growth. Periodically check the hanging hook to ensure it remains securely fastened.
