What kind of food can I put in the feeder?
You can offer a variety of bird foods, including seeds, nuts, and mealworms.
Is the white floral pattern durable?
The pattern is part of the decorative finish. While generally durable, it's advisable to clean gently to preserve its appearance over time.
How often should I clean the bird feeder?
It is recommended to clean the feeder periodically, especially if food becomes wet or soiled, to maintain bird health.
Can this feeder withstand all weather conditions?
The cast iron is weather-resistant, but prolonged exposure to extreme conditions might affect its appearance. Regular checks and maintenance are recommended.
What are the dimensions of the feeding dish?

Troubleshooting
Feeder is wobbly after installation.
Ensure the foot step is inserted deeply and securely into the ground. Check for uneven ground that might require leveling.
Birds are not visiting the feeder.
Ensure the feeder is clean and filled with attractive food types (e.g., mixed seeds, sunflower hearts). Try relocating the feeder to a more sheltered or visible spot. Birds may take time to discover a new food source.
Water is accumulating in the feeding dish.
While the design is open, some water accumulation may occur in heavy rain. Periodically empty and wipe the dish dry to prevent moldy feed.
Minor rust spots appearing on the cast iron.
This is natural for cast iron. Lightly sand the affected area and apply a rust-resistant coating suitable for outdoor use, or a natural oil if preferred for bird safety.
