Dakota Fields all-weather sunflower heart feeder is simple and easy to fill and hang. The removable plastic insert included helps to reduce mess when feeding. Why use: High-quality stainless steel mesh creates many feeding opportunities. Can be used with Dakota Fields sunflower hearts. How to use: Simply remove the lid of the top of the feeder and fill it with Dakota Fields sunflower hearts or peanuts. Hang from a tree, dining station, or from our universal feeder hook. Where to site: Site your feeder 2 meters from the cover to make the feeder visible, whilst providing a safe place to retreat. Put out food at the start of the day to ensure that birds can replace the energy they have lost overnight. Feeding tips: With food resources scarcer now, it is essential to feed garden birds all year round. Once you have started to feed the birds it is important to continue this, and develop a routine, as the birds will become reliant upon your help. Provide food throughout the whole year, especially during breeding, nesting, and fledgling periods. Locate feeder stations near the cover so that they’re easily accessible, but not too close if there is a risk of predators. Hygiene: Always ensure garden birds have plenty of fresh clean water for drinking and bathing. Clean feeding and drinking areas regularly with a mild disinfectant. Keep food fresh and dry, removing any wet food to prevent the spread of bacteria and diseases. Package includes: Dakota Fields all-weather sunflower heart feeder
