How to Use the Peckish Secret Garden Energy Ball Feeder

Setting Up the Feeder

1. Choose a Suitable Location: Place the feeder in a sheltered area of your garden, away from predators and disturbance. A quiet, high spot with good visibility is perfect for attracting birds.

2. Mount or Hang Securely: Use a strong branch, pole, or hook to hang the feeder at least 2 meters above the ground to protect it from squirrels and other animals. Ensure the feeder is stable and securely fastened.

3. Load with Energy Balls: Open the feeder and place the Peckish Energy Balls inside. Ensure the feeder is filled with a fresh supply of energy balls, which are a great source of calories for birds, especially during the colder months.

Ongoing Use

• Regular Refilling: Keep the feeder well-stocked with fresh energy balls to attract more birds. Make sure to check the level every few days, especially during busy feeding seasons.
• Monitor Bird Visits: Enjoy watching birds of different species visit your feeder. Popular garden birds like robins, starlings, and sparrows are often drawn to energy balls.

Maintenance Tips for the Peckish Secret Garden Energy Ball Feeder

Cleaning the Feeder

• Frequency: Clean the feeder regularly, at least once every two weeks, or more frequently if the weather has been particularly wet. Keeping the feeder clean prevents the spread of mold and bacteria, ensuring it remains safe for the birds.

• Cleaning Process: Use warm, soapy water and a soft brush to clean both the inside and outside of the feeder. Pay attention to the wire and any nooks or crannies where dirt and residue can accumulate.

• Dry Thoroughly: After cleaning, allow the feeder to dry completely before refilling it with fresh energy balls. This helps prevent moisture from causing the food to spoil.

General Care and Inspection

• Check for Damage: Periodically inspect the feeder for signs of wear or damage. Make sure the lid opens and closes properly and that the wire or metal structure is intact. Repair any damage promptly to ensure the feeder’s longevity.

• Replace Weathered Components: If any part of the feeder, such as the wire or hanging hook, shows signs of rust or degradation, consider replacing it with new components to maintain the feeder’s effectiveness and appeal.

Protecting the Feeder from Weather

• Placement in Sheltered Areas: Place the feeder in a location that offers some protection from heavy rain or snow, such as beneath a tree or a roof overhang. This helps to keep the energy balls dry and fresh.

• Secure During Wind: In windy conditions, make sure the feeder is securely mounted so it doesn’t sway or fall. This also ensures that the energy balls stay safe inside the feeder.

Dimensions and Capacity

• Height: Approximately 25 cm
• Spread/Diameter: Around 12 cm
• Capacity: Holds up to 4 energy balls, providing enough space for multiple bird visitors to feed at once.
