FAQs
What kind of birds will this attract?
This feeder is primarily designed for nut-eating birds such as woodpeckers, nuthatches, and various tit species.
How do I refill the feeder?
Simply pull the resin lid upwards and away from the wire mesh body to reveal the opening for your peanuts.
Can I use sunflower seeds in this feeder?
No, the mesh size is designed specifically for peanuts and nuts; sunflower seeds will likely fall right through.

It is recommended to clean the feeder at least once every three to four weeks to ensure hygiene.
Is the feeder squirrel-proof?
The feeder is not explicitly squirrel-proof; we recommend placing it on a squirrel-baffled pole if you have persistent visitors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the feeder is straightforward due to the integrated wire hanging loop; simply secure it to a sturdy branch or hook at a height that is inaccessible to common garden pests like squirrels. For maintenance, it is recommended to clean the feeder every few weeks to prevent the buildup of bacteria. Use warm, soapy water and a stiff brush to scrub the mesh thoroughly, ensuring all residue is removed. Allow the feeder to dry completely in the sun before refilling. Periodically check the hanging loop for signs of wear to ensure the feeder remains securely suspended.
