Product Information
Full details
The Jacobi Jayne My Favourites Lantern Bird Feeder is designed for backyard bird enthusiasts who want to support smaller garden visitors like robins, finches, and blue tits. Its primary benefit is a durable, weather-resistant design that keeps feed dry and fresh while effectively discouraging larger nuisance birds like starlings and pigeons. Please note that while its design is ideal for clinging birds, it may not be suitable for ground-feeding species that prefer tray-style structures.

FAQs
What type of bird food is best for this feeder?
This feeder is designed for standard seed mixes. The ports are sized to accommodate small to medium seeds commonly favored by finches and tits.
Can I mount this on a pole?
Yes, the My Favourites feeder is compatible with standard bird feeder pole mounts in addition to its hanging loop.
How often should I clean the feeder?
It is recommended to clean the feeder every 2 to 4 weeks, or immediately if you notice the seed has become damp or moldy.
Is the polycarbonate material safe for birds?
Yes, the high-quality polycarbonate is food-grade, durable, and does not leach chemicals into the bird feed.
Will this deter squirrels?
While the feeder is designed to deter larger birds, it is not strictly squirrel-proof. If you have squirrel activity, consider placing the feeder in an isolated area away from jumping-off points.
Troubleshooting
Seeds are not flowing into the tray
Check if the seed mix is too large for the ports or if there is a clump caused by humidity. Shake the feeder gently to dislodge blockages.
Birds are ignoring the feeder
Ensure the feeder is placed away from heavy wind and high-traffic areas. It may take several days for local birds to discover the new food source.
Hard to open the lid
Ensure no debris or seed shells are lodged in the quick-release mechanism. A quick rinse with water can clear minor obstructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: utilize the integrated hanging loop to suspend the feeder from a sturdy garden branch or use a compatible mounting pole. For cleaning, simply twist or unclip the base section to access the internal hopper. We recommend washing the unit with mild soap and warm water every few weeks—especially during damp months—to prevent mold growth. Always ensure the lid is fully locked into the 'closed' position after refilling to maintain the weatherproof seal.
