Fill with black oil sunflower seed, safflower mix, and peanut pieces. Before filling your feeder with fresh seed, it is recommended that the following precautions are taken: * Remove all old seed. * Soak feeder in a light water/bleach solution (9 parts H20 to 1 part bleach). * Scrub feeder and allow to air dry. * Rake and remove accumulated hulls and droppings from underneath the feeders. * Spread mulch (bark or wood) under the feeder, replace mulch when soiled. To prevent mold growth, use weatherproof feeders when conditions are humid or wet. * Thoroughly wash hands after handling and cleaning feeders.
Birds at my feeder look sick, what should I do?
The best thing to do is to stop feeding the birds temporarily. Remove the feeders and throw out all of the seed. Thoroughly wash your feeders. Remove all debris from under your feeder. Do not touch the sick birds. Refill all of your feeders and resume feeding.
How do I prevent seeds from sprouting under my feeder?
You will need to sterilize your seed to prevent it from germinating. This will not alter the attractiveness or the nutritional value of the seed in any way.Here are two methods:Conventional Oven: Place the seed on a baking sheet and cook for 30 minutes at 300°F.Microwave Oven: Place seed in a paper bag. Cook on high power for 5 minutes.
Why does the seed in my feeder get moldy?
Mold is caused by a heavy rain, driving sleet or snow plugging the feeding ports and allowing water to dampen the seed. Always clean, dry and refill your feeders after heavy weather. You may also want to try placing 1/4" of cat litter in the bottom of the feeder to absorb excess moisture.

The birds love it
By Cardinals on Jan 14, 2021
My goal was to get rid of all the spillage that attracts squirrels to our yard. This seems to be doing that. Since the seeds require some effort for the birds to get out through the mesh or from the tray on the base, they don’t spill as much, and we don’t have the squirrel activity that we had for a while. Although the Cardinals are my favorite, it feeds them as well as lots of other small birds. Filling it requires two hands, one to hold the lid up and one to pour the seed in, but it is not difficult at all.

Excellent choice
By Susu on Dec 31, 2020
I purchased 2 feeders and put them on my deck in a condo community. I’ve been spending hours a day watching cardinals (up to 4 males at once) finches, tufted titmice, woodpeckers, and of course, blue jays, among others. They are well constructed and hold a good amount of seed. I highly recommend these feeders and actually bought 2 more as gifts.

Nice idea but the cage section should be upside down
By nancy on Dec 27, 2020
When the black oil sunflower seed gets low the seed is much higher in the center leaving few seeds available to the finches. I go out and shake the feeder to spread seed out l toward the edge of the cage. If the shape was tubular or wider on top than bottom, most seed could be eaten before refilling.

Terrible Design
By Marty on Aug 17, 2020
The base is large enough for all birds to perch upon, including pigeons, who clean out the feeder in 2 days. Also, they don't bother to tell you that it's collapsible, so the only way to fill it is to hold the handle up with one hand while you pour with the other, and steady the bag with...doh! Definitely would not recommend.
