Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your feeder, ensure it is hung from a secure support capable of holding the weight of a full feeder. This unit is compatible with most standard mixed bird seeds. To maintain hygiene, it is recommended to clean the feeder at least once a month using a mild bird-safe disinfectant. Remove all old seed, rinse the interior tube thoroughly with warm soapy water, and allow it to dry completely before refilling to prevent fungal growth. Periodically check the hanging wire for any signs of wear to ensure the feeder remains securely suspended.
