Troubleshooting
The feeding ports remain closed even when small birds arrive.
The weight-sensitivity setting may be too low; adjust the spring tension to allow the ports to remain open for lighter birds.
Squirrels are still accessing the seed.
Check that the feeder is not positioned too close to a tree or fence; if a squirrel can reach the feeder without putting its full weight on the perch, the shroud will not close.
The feeder parts are sticking.
Debris or old, damp seed may be causing friction. Clean the feeder thoroughly and ensure no sticky residue remains on the sliding shroud.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your feeder is straightforward: ensure it is suspended from a sturdy hook or feeder pole at a height that is easy for you to reach for refilling. Compatibility is best with standard garden seed mixes; avoid using seed containing large, hard shells that might jam the mechanism. To care for your feeder, disassemble it once every few weeks for a thorough cleaning. Simply slide the components apart, wash with warm, soapy water, and ensure all parts are completely dry before refilling to prevent mold growth on the seeds.
