How to site and hang

your bird feeder and

frustrate the squirrels

Frustrated and hungry squirrels will tirelessly seek out
any opportunity of a vantage point from which they
can bypass the mechanism of this feeder and leap
directly onto the seed tube. Therefore,

you must
hang it so that the squirrels can ONLY approach
from above

.

If the garden doesn’t offer an obvious ‘safe’ hanging
point, then suspending the feeder beneath a
horizontal wire slung between two points in the
garden is the best way to site it. Ensure that you have
good clearance all around the feeder – no branches,
trees, bushes, fences, buildings or garden furniture
etc. within 1.5m (5 feet), and place the feeder at least

1.35m (4

1

⁄2 feet) above the ground. Wherever you
hang your feeder, be certain to use the supplied wire
to suspend the feeder at least one foot below the
hanging point.

Use perches hinged down.

A little thought and careful following of these
instructions now, will reward you with the guaranteed
satisfaction of beating the squirrels and ensuring your
garden birds are still fed their favourite seed.

How to fill your

Squirrel Proof Feeder

1. Grasp the top of the feeder,
holding the top end of the
metal tube between thumb and
forefinger (see illustration).

2. Hold the feed tube, push it
up and twist it through 90º
(a quarter-turn), then pull
it gently down.

3. Fill the feed tube to within
12 mm (

1

⁄2 inch) of the top.

Maintenance

Occasionally wipe the stainless
steel tube clean and apply to it a
few drops of thin oil to ensure
long-lasting efficient operation.

To clean the feed tube, release the
small domed nut under the base
plate. Remove the base plate to
gain access to the inside of the
tube. Remove as much old food
and debris as possible, clean in a
mild disinfectant solution and
rinse in clean water.

Re-assembling is the reverse of
the disassembly instructions.
