FAQs
What type of birds does this feeder attract?

How do I clean the Rosewood Antique Lantern Bird Feeder?
Clean the feeder regularly with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before refilling. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the bronze finish.
Can I use any type of birdseed in this feeder?
The main compartment is best suited for up to 3 standard suet balls. The base tray can be used for mealworms, suet pellets, or small table scraps. For loose seeds, it's best to use a feeder designed specifically for them to prevent excessive waste.

It holds up to 3 standard suet balls in the main compartment and the integral tray can be filled with additional food like mealworms or scraps.
Is the hanger adjustable?
The feeder is supplied with an extra-strong hanger, but it is not typically adjustable. You can hang it from various points using compatible hooks or branches.
Will the bronze finish fade over time?
The antique brushed bronze finish is painted. While designed for outdoor use, prolonged intense sunlight or harsh weather may affect the finish over time. Gentle cleaning and care will help preserve its appearance.
Troubleshooting
Feeder is not attracting birds
Ensure the feeder is placed in a visible and safe location away from heavy foot traffic. Try offering different types of food, such as niger seeds or chopped nuts, in the tray.
Food is getting wet or clumping
The feeder offers some protection, but in very wet weather, food can become damp. Ensure the feeder is not overfilled and consider positioning it under a more sheltered spot if possible.
Finish appears to be peeling or damaged
This may occur with aggressive cleaning or prolonged exposure to harsh weather. Use only mild soap and water for cleaning, and dry thoroughly. For minor chips, touch-up paint may be an option, but consult the manufacturer if unsure.
Hanger seems weak or is damaged
Inspect the hanger regularly. If it shows signs of rust or damage, replace it immediately with a suitable strong wire or chain to prevent the feeder from falling.
