Recommends the feeder be kept full at all times for the safety of birds. Ensure it be cleaned monthly to prevent the spread of avian diseases.
If squirrels are a problem, hang feeders at least six feet above the ground and 10-15 feet away from trees or structures where squirrels can jump. Other steps can also help make a feeder more squirrel-resistant.
No Birds?
When you first set up a feeding station, you may have no feeder visitors. Be patient–the local birds first have to discover the new food source. As with any new restaurant, you may need to do a little advertising to get some clients–if no birds visit your seed feeder within a few days of setting it up, try sprinkling seeds on the ground nearby to make the feeder more obvious. If birds congregate nearby but just don’t come to your feeder, sprinkle seed between the favored area and the feeder.
If the seed in the feeder is blowing out or getting wet, it may be too exposed for birds to be comfortable, too. Try moving the feeder to a calmer, more sheltered spot.
We hope you have the best possible experience from your bird feeding hobby.
