FAQs
What type of bird seed should I use?
This feeder is best for small seeds like sunflower seeds (hearts or chips), nyjer (thistle), or a small bird seed mix. Avoid large seeds or mixes with large pieces that small birds cannot easily handle.
How often should I clean the feeder?
It is recommended to clean the removable seed tray at least once a week to prevent mold and disease. If you notice any spoilage, clean it immediately.
Can this feeder withstand different weather conditions?
The feeder is made of durable materials for outdoor use. However, extreme temperatures (very hot or very cold) can affect the suction cups' grip. It's also advisable to bring it in during severe storms.
Is the seed tray easy to remove?
Yes, the seed tray is designed for easy removal, allowing for quick refilling and cleaning without having to take down the entire feeder from the window.
Will this feeder attract squirrels?
The design aims to deter squirrels and larger birds, focusing on smaller species. While it can help, persistent squirrels may still attempt to access the seed.
Where is the best place to install the feeder?
Install on a clean, smooth windowpane. Placing it near trees or shrubs can provide birds with a sense of security, but ensure there's a clear flight path to the feeder.
Troubleshooting
Feeder not sticking to the window
Ensure the window surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Re-moisten the suction cups and press firmly. Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations on the glass.
Seed getting wet or moldy
Clean the seed tray immediately. Consider using a seed mix with less fine material and ensure adequate ventilation. Refill only with the amount of seed birds will consume in a day or two.
Birds not visiting the feeder
Try a different type of bird seed. Ensure the feeder is placed in a location that offers some nearby cover (like shrubs or trees) and is not too close to high-traffic areas.
Squirrels or larger birds accessing seed
While designed to deter them, very persistent squirrels may find a way. Consider adding a baffle above or below the feeder if this becomes a persistent issue, or repositioning the feeder.
