Troubleshooting
Feeder is not attracting birds.
Try different types of birdseed, ensure the feeder is in a visible location, and make sure it's away from predators like cats.
Squirrels are still accessing the seed.
Check the hanging location and ensure the feeder is far enough away from trees or other structures squirrels can climb on. Consider using a baffle above the feeder.
