Troubleshooting
Feeder appears to be rusting excessively.
While the cast iron is durable, some surface rust may appear over time. This is normal for cast iron. You can gently clean it with a wire brush and apply a thin coat of food-safe oil or a clear, outdoor-safe sealant to prevent further rust.
Birds are not visiting the feeder.
Ensure the feeder is placed in a safe location away from predators and has a clear flight path. Try offering different types of birdseed. It may also take time for birds to discover and trust a new feeder in their territory.
Whitewash finish is chipping.
The rustic finish is designed to have a distressed look. If significant chipping occurs, you can gently sand the affected area and apply a new coat of matte white, outdoor-safe paint or sealant for touch-ups.
