Troubleshooting
Birds are not visiting the feeder
Ensure the feeder is in a visible, quiet location and allow a few days for the local bird population to discover the new food source.
Seeds are clumping inside the feeder
Moisture has likely entered the feeder; clean the unit, dry it thoroughly, and ensure the roof or rain guard is properly positioned.
Squirrels are stealing the seeds
Consider using a squirrel-proof feeder or a baffle on the feeder pole to prevent access.
