FAQs
What types of bird food can I use in this feeder?
This feeder is suitable for use with all Walter Harrison's seed mixes, including peanuts and suet pellets.
How often should I clean the feeder?
It is recommended to clean the feeder at least every two weeks. Clean more frequently if you notice spoilage or during prolonged wet weather.
How do I refill the feeder?
To refill, simply twist the lid open, add your birdseed, and then twist the lid securely closed.
Does the feeder come with anything to hang it with?
The feeder has an integrated hanging mechanism designed for easy suspension.
Is the copper finish durable?
The feeder features a hammertone powder-coated finish, which is designed to be weather-resistant and durable for outdoor use. However, the hammertone texture may show scuffs over time.
What is the purpose of the holes in the base?
The three drainage holes in the base are designed to allow water to escape, preventing the birdseed from becoming waterlogged and promoting freshness.
Troubleshooting
Feeder is difficult to open or close
Ensure there is no debris or food lodged in the twist mechanism. If it's stiff, try rinsing the lid and base with warm water and drying thoroughly before attempting to twist again.
Seed is getting wet or moldy
Check that the drainage holes in the base are clear of obstruction. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly. Clean the feeder thoroughly and ensure it is completely dry before refilling.
Birds are not visiting the feeder
Ensure the feeder is placed in a safe and visible location. Try using a different type of Walter Harrison's seed mix, as birds can be attracted to different foods. Patience is key; it may take some time for birds to discover a new feeder.
