FAQs
What types of birds can I expect to attract with this set?
This set is designed to attract a wide variety of garden birds, including finches, sparrows, tits, robins, woodpeckers, and potentially starlings, depending on the food offered and local bird populations.
How often should I clean the bird feeders?
It is recommended to clean the feeders every two weeks to maintain hygiene and prevent the spread of diseases among birds. Clean more frequently if you notice food becoming damp or moldy.
Can these feeders be left out in winter?
Yes, these feeders are designed for outdoor use and can be left out year-round. Offering high-energy foods like fat balls and suet blocks is particularly beneficial for birds during the colder winter months.

Do the feeders come with seeds or food included?

Can I hang these feeders from a shepherd's hook?

Troubleshooting
Birds are not visiting the feeders.
Ensure feeders are placed in a visible, accessible location, away from potential predators. Try offering different types of bird food. Clean feeders regularly as old food can deter birds.
Squirrels or larger birds are eating all the food.
Consider using feeders with smaller openings or placing feeders on poles with squirrel baffles. Fat ball and suet block feeders are often less attractive to squirrels than seed feeders. Relocating feeders further from jump-off points can also help.
Food is getting wet and moldy.
Ensure feeders are hung in a location that offers some protection from heavy rain. Clean feeders immediately if food becomes wet and moldy. Consider using feeders with roofs or baffles to deflect rain.
Feeder is difficult to refill.
Check if the lid or access point is properly aligned. Ensure no debris is blocking the opening. Refer to the specific feeder design for the correct refilling method.
