Troubleshooting

Birds are not visiting the feeder.

Ensure the feeder is placed in an accessible yet safe location. Clean the feeder and try a different type of suet fat ball. Birds may take time to discover a new feeder.

Suet fat balls are falling out.

Check that the metal grill is properly seated and that the suet fat balls are not too small or crumbling. Ensure the lid is closed securely.

Feeder lid is difficult to raise or lower.

Check for any obstructions or debris around the lid mechanism. Gently clean the hinge area. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Feeder appears to be rusting or discolored.

This is normal wear for metal outdoors. Clean the feeder thoroughly. For the copper-style finish, use a suitable metal polish to restore shine if desired. Ensure the feeder is completely dry after cleaning.
