CLEANING YOUR FEEDER
· Frequency of cleaning varies according to climate.
· Heavy bird traffic can increase the frequency of cleaning.
· Washing by Hand. Wear Gloves!
· Dismantle and discard any accumulation of wild bird food.
· Wash by hand in warm soapy water and/or in 1/10 bleach solution.
· Make sure all components are completely dry before assembling.
· Warning: Bird droppings contain contaminants. Avoid skin contact.
HOW IT WORKS
Openings in the shroud align with the feeding ports, providing birds access to the food. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight automatically forces the shroud down, closing access to the ports. Squirrels and some large birds are foiled but not harmed in any way.
