FAQs
Can I put bird seed in this feeder?
No, this feeder is specifically designed to hold energy balls. Loose seed will fall directly through the stainless steel mesh.
How often should I clean the feeder?
It is best practice to clean the feeder every 2 to 4 weeks, or whenever you notice significant buildup of dirt or old food remnants.
Is the stainless steel prone to rust?
The feeder is crafted from durable stainless steel designed to be rust-resistant, making it suitable for all-weather outdoor use.
Can this feeder hold fat blocks?
This model is designed for spherical energy balls; fat blocks may not fit depending on their dimensions.
Where is the best place to hang the feeder?
Hang the feeder in an open area that is visible to birds, but close enough to trees or bushes so birds feel safe from predators.
Troubleshooting
Birds are not visiting the feeder
Ensure the feeder is in a quiet, slightly covered area away from constant human movement and that the energy balls inside are fresh.
Difficulty opening the lid for refilling
Check the hinge mechanism for any debris or oxidation and gently clear it; a light tap on the side can often dislodge stuck food particles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the feeder is straightforward: simply open the top closure, insert your chosen bird-safe energy balls, and snap the lid shut. Ensure the feeder is hung on a sturdy branch or bracket that can support the weight of the feeder plus the weight of multiple birds. To maintain hygiene, it is recommended to scrub the stainless steel mesh with a soft brush and mild soapy water every few weeks to prevent the buildup of bacteria or mold. Always ensure the feeder is completely dry before refilling with fresh energy balls.
