FAQ's:
How do I mount my feeder?
This feeder can be used as either a pole-mounted or hanging feeder. To pole mount, place it onto a compatible metal pole. To hang, use the included hanging rod (located between the feeder and base). Screw the hanging rod into the feeder and hang it securely.
How do I clean my feeder?
Empty any remaining nectar and disassemble the feeder. Wash all parts with warm water and a mild soap. Use a small brush to clean inside the feeding ports and hard to reach areas. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue before refilling the feeder with fresh nectar.
How often should I clean my feeder?
It is recommended to clean a feeder every 2-3 days in hot weather and at least once a week in cooler weather. Regular cleaning helps prevent mold, bacteria, and spoiled nectar that can harm hummingbirds.
How do I keep my feeder from leaking?
It is recommended to fill our feeders to the maximum capacity so that there is not an air pocket in with the nectar, which could cause the feeder to leak. Additionally, an ideal spot for any feeder is to be placed out of direct sunlight to prevent expansion from the heat of the sun that can cause your feeder to leak. Make sure all parts are securely assembled and the feeder is hung level. Check seals regularly for wear.
Why aren’t birds visiting my feeder?
It can take time for birds to discover a new feeder. Try placing it in a visible location near flowers, keeping nectar fresh, and maintaining a clean feeder.
Where should I place my feeder?
Place your feeder in a partially shaded area where it is easy for birds to spot. Position it near flowering plants and away from areas with heavy foot traffic.
Do I need to use red dye in the nectar?
Hummingbirds are naturally attracted to the red accents on the feeder, making additional coloring unnecessary. Using plain nectar without dye is the safest option for birds.
Do you sell replacement parts for this feeder?
Replacement parts are not currently available for this feeder.
Is this feeder made with BPA-free materials?
Yes, this feeder is made with BPA-free materials for safe use with nectar.
