Troubleshooting
Station is wobbly or unstable.
Ensure the pointed end of the pole is pushed firmly into the soil. If the ground is soft, use the provided stabilisers to anchor it more securely. Check and tighten all butterfly bolts on the feeder supports.
Birds are not visiting the feeders.
Ensure feeders are filled with appropriate food types for local birds. Try a variety of foods. Birds may also need time to discover a new feeding station; ensure it is placed in a visible but safe location, away from potential predators.
Feeder supports are difficult to adjust.
Loosen the butterfly bolts sufficiently. If they are stiff, a gentle wiggle may help. Ensure no debris is obstructing the bolt or clamp mechanism.
Water dish is constantly empty or dirty.
Clean the dish daily. Refill with fresh water as needed. Consider placing the station in a location that offers some shade to keep the water cooler and cleaner for longer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Assemble the four pole sections by simply slotting them together. The last section has a pointed end.
- Choose a suitable, level location in your garden and push the pointed end of the pole into the soil to secure it. Use the included stabilisers for extra support, especially if the ground is soft or feeders are heavily laden.
- Attach the water dish, mealworm tray, and feeder hooks/supports to the pole at your desired heights using the butterfly bolts. Tighten these bolts securely but allow for future adjustment.
- Hang the provided feeders and any additional items onto the designated hooks or supports.
Compatibility:
This feeding station is designed to accommodate standard bird feeders, food types (seeds, nuts, fatballs, mealworms), and water. The pole diameter is 22mm, and feeder supports are designed for general use.
Care:
- Regular Cleaning: It is essential to clean all components of the feeding station regularly (at least weekly, more often in warm weather) to prevent the spread of disease among birds. Disassemble feeders, wash with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow to dry completely before refilling.
- Check Stability: Periodically check that the pole is still securely fixed in the ground and that all butterfly bolts are tightened.
- Winter Care: During freezing weather, ensure the water dish is emptied or the water is refreshed frequently to prevent ice buildup. Remove feeders if they become unusable due to snow or ice.
