Full details
The Peckish Woodland Feast Seed and Suet Cake Tower Feeder is perfect for bird enthusiasts looking to attract a diverse range of garden birds with a reliable, space-saving solution. It provides the essential benefit of keeping food protected and accessible, though its 700g capacity means it requires more frequent refills than larger, industrial-sized hopper feeders. This durable, wood-constructed feeder combines an intuitive, upright design with a weather-resistant roof, making it a great entry point for backyard birding.

FAQs
What types of birds does this feeder attract?
It typically attracts a variety of garden birds including tits, nuthatches, finches, and sparrows due to the combination of seed and suet.
Is this feeder squirrel-proof?
No, this feeder is not squirrel-proof. We recommend placing it on a baffle-protected pole or a location difficult for squirrels to access.
How often should I clean the feeder?
You should clean the feeder every 1-2 weeks or whenever you refill the seed, especially if it has been exposed to wet weather.
Can I use any type of suet cake?
Yes, it is designed to fit standard-sized suet cakes securely in the side cages.
Is the wood treated to prevent rotting?
The feeder is crafted from sustainably sourced wood designed for outdoor use, but applying a bird-safe wood preservative annually can extend its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Birds are not using the feeder
Ensure the feeder is in a quiet, safe location away from domestic pets and predators. It may take a few days for local birds to discover a new feeding source.
Feed is getting clumped or damp
Clean out the old feed and ensure the roof is positioned correctly. Check for leaks or cracks if the feeder has been exposed to extreme weather for long periods.
Excessive waste on the ground
The feeder is designed to be tidy, but if seed is falling, ensure the feed level is not too high and consider using a seed tray underneath if ground-feeding birds are the primary culprits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your feeder, simply locate a hook or tree branch capable of supporting the weight of the feeder plus its full capacity of feed. Ensure it is hung high enough to discourage ground predators but accessible enough for your own regular maintenance.
Care Instructions
- Weekly Cleaning: Remove any uneaten, damp, or moldy feed weekly to maintain bird hygiene.
- Refilling: Slide the top or open the designated hatch to refill the seed chamber, ensuring the wood remains dry throughout the process.
- Maintenance: Check the integrity of the hanging cord or hook periodically to ensure safety. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners; warm soapy water is sufficient for washing the structure.
