What is the warranty period for this product?

Troubleshooting
Feeder is not attracting any birds.
Ensure the feeder is filled with fresh, appealing bird nuts. Try a different location that offers more cover or is closer to existing bird habitats. Clean the feeder thoroughly, as old food residue can deter birds.
Food is spilling out.
Do not overfill the feeder. Ensure the feeder is hanging straight and not excessively swinging. Check if the lid or opening is damaged.
Squirrels or larger animals are raiding the feeder.
Consider placing the feeder further away from easy access points for squirrels. You may need to explore squirrel-resistant feeder designs or baffles if this becomes a persistent issue.
Feeder appears damaged.
Inspect the feeder for cracks or breaks in the material or hanging mechanism. Contact the manufacturer for replacement parts or a warranty claim if applicable.
