Where do I put the bird feed?

Hi Leanne, Thanks for your question. In response, we've made it extremely easy to add bird seed to the "Skinny Squirrel" proof bird feeder. Basically, you just unscrew the top cap, remove, and pour in your seeds. Then just place the top back on the unit, screw it tight, and thats it! Hope this helps.. If you have any other questions, just let me know.. Have a blessed day, Mark

I use an enclosed feeder with plastic sides that have two holes on each side and there is one hole on each end. Small birds can get in and larger brids cannot. Although this year the Starlings have figured out that they can stick their head and to retrive food.

Very simple. Lift the spring loaded top off to the side, insert a large funnel. Put your bird seed into a large bucket with a spout. Pour the seed into the funnel off to the side. You will notice a swirling action as the seed goes thru the funnel. Fill er" up and replace the top.

I use black sunflower seeds which most birds eat. Some fall out when you load it up with food but the other birds that eat off the ground feed on those. I buy the food wherever I see a good deal.

My husband always fills it but he said u line it up by looking at the bottom of the bird, shut the lid and turn the bird to lock it down. Hope that helps.

It takes awhile for the birds to find the feeder. One thing that's supposed to help is to put some birdseed in a shiny pan directly under the bird feeder. The birds find the feeder more quickly that way.

I find mine laying on the ground below the feeder. Turns out that I have a female Baltimore Oriole that has figured out how to pluck them out and gain access to the nectar. It's kind of annoying but I have to give her credit and it is fun to watch.

Hey - it will fit right on top of the pole - there's a hole/indentation in the bottom of the bird feeder and you just place it on top of the pole

Attach the top hook to a chain or hook so that it's sides aren't touching anything else. Hang feeder from bottom hook.

I'm sure they would be interested anywhere you put it. They love to feed off any feeder. Good Luck!

I would make sure that the food is fresh. When I fill the feeder a small amount of food falls through. The only way I know the birds are feeding, is the decrease of the food in the feeder.

mine is just under the hanging bird food. If that is too low, then chipmunk or squirrel can jump on top of that.

Sorry, I can't really help you. I didn't have that problem during the short period of time my feeder was in use. It was destroyed by a hungry bear shortly after I installed it! I guess if there is a space where a small bird could get into the feeder, it's a possibility. It's been quite a while since I had my feeder, so I don't remember much about it. You might want to call the Perky Pets folks -- they might be able to shed some light on the problem. They are an old, well-established bird-feeder company!

There is not a place in the wire part of the cage. It attaches to the inside of the cage not thru an opening in the cage wire as some brands do. It is pretty big but fits nicely in one of the corners. You can hang it as high or low as you want. It can be open on either side so you can put it in the front or the back with access for the birds and there is a small perch than can fit on either side.

I myself just use regular birdseed, it has some sunflower seeds in it. I can't keep mine full enough.

We have doves and they don't use the feeder, I think they are to heavy when they land on ring. We have it set so Cardinals can feed. Also Crows can't use it, we love ours. Saving money on bird feed.

Wait - I thought of another option! Look for the Brome Squirrel Buster CLASSIC (not the standard - I always get those 2 mixed up) - it has removable perches. You MIGHT be able to just clip the perches onto the wire cover ABOVE the feeding ports instead of below! However, they are U-shaped perches which might not be that easy for the birds to flip around on. But it's a thought ... it MIGHT work.Brome Squirrel Buster Classic
