Troubleshooting

Feeder is not attracting birds.

Ensure the feeder is in a visible and safe location. Try different types of birdseed to attract a wider variety of birds. Be patient; it may take time for birds to discover the feeder.

Ensure the feeder is hung away from any jumping points (e.g., branches, fences). Consider using a squirrel baffle above or below the feeder.

Birdseed is getting wet.

Make sure the feeder is placed in a sheltered area, away from direct rain. Clean out wet seed promptly to prevent mold.
