Troubleshooting
Squirrels are still accessing the food.
Ensure the feeder is not too close to fences, trees, or walls that squirrels can use to jump onto it. Try moving it to a more open location.
Larger birds are unable to feed.
This is by design to protect food for smaller birds. If you wish to feed larger birds, consider a feeder without a cage.
Feeder is not attracting birds.
Try different types of bird food. Ensure the feeder is placed in a location that birds feel safe visiting, ideally with some nearby cover.
Food is getting wet and clumping.
While the cage offers some protection, persistent rain can still affect food. Ensure the feeder is hung in a somewhat sheltered location if possible. Clean out any spoiled food promptly.
