Troubleshooting
Feeders are not attracting birds.
Try a different type of bird seed mix. Ensure the feeders are clean and in a visible, safe location.
Seed is getting wet or spoiled.
Ensure the feeders are in a sheltered location and clean them regularly. Check for any damage that may allow water to enter.
Squirrels are accessing the seed.
Consider adding squirrel baffles above or below the feeders. Ensure feeders are hung away from surfaces squirrels can jump from.
