FAQs
Can I put bird seed mix in this feeder?
No, this feeder is specifically designed for whole peanuts. Seed mixes will spill out through the large mesh.
How do I clean the feeder?
Use warm water and a mild, pet-safe detergent. Use a soft brush to scrub the mesh and let it dry fully before refilling.
Is the feeder weather-proof?
Yes, it is constructed from durable materials designed to withstand outdoor weather conditions.
What is the best way to hang the feeder?
Use a standard bird feeder hook or a sturdy branch that provides enough clearance from the ground and nearby walls.
How often should I refill the peanuts?
Refill as needed based on bird activity; ensure the feed is always fresh and replace any peanuts that look wet or moldy immediately.
Troubleshooting
Peanuts are falling through the mesh
Ensure you are using whole peanuts; broken or small peanut pieces are likely to pass through the mesh gaps.
Birds are not visiting the feeder
Relocate the feeder to a quieter area with nearby cover and ensure the peanuts are fresh and free from mold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your feeder, simply choose a sturdy branch or hook that can support the weight of the feeder when full. Ensure it is hung at a height that is visible from your viewing area but safe from potential predators like domestic cats. Regarding compatibility, this feeder is strictly for whole peanuts; do not use split peanuts or smaller nut pieces as they may fall out through the mesh. Maintenance is straightforward: periodically rinse the feeder with a mild, bird-safe disinfectant and warm water to remove dust and debris. Always allow the mesh to dry completely before refilling with fresh peanuts to prevent spoilage.
