Can this tray be used in windy conditions?

Troubleshooting
Tray is not hanging level.
Adjust the length of each of the four hanging strings using the push-button locking mechanism until the tray is balanced.
Birds are not using the tray as a feeding platform.
Ensure there is still a small amount of seed or debris accessible on the tray. Some birds may prefer feeding from the main feeder but will utilize the tray if seeds are present.
Debris is falling outside the tray.
Verify that the strings are adjusted so the tray is positioned directly beneath the feeder's seed dispensing area. Ensure the feeder's base allows for secure attachment of the hooks.
Mesh appears dirty or moldy.
Remove the tray, empty any debris, and wash the mesh with mild soap and water. Rinse well and allow to dry completely before reattaching.
