Why use the Robin feeder and birdbath?
A feeder in the winter, a birdbath in the summer! You can use
the Robin feeder and birdbath from spring to winter. Two reservoirs
designed for different food types mean you can fill the feeder with
both loose food and fat balls, while you can use the third reservoir
as a birdbath in the warmer parts of the year. A water source is
invaluable for birds, especially on hot days when natural sources are
often insufficient or dry out. It is also a safe water source for adults,
but primarily for young birds. Water plays an important role for
cleaning, not only drinking.
What to fill your feeder with
Add food to the feeder regularly, as needed and every day. Birds
quickly get accustomed to food sources in the winter and come to depend
on them. They will then fly to your feeder every day, and usually at the
same time.
Food for our wintering feathered friends should mostly be plant-
based, with various seeds, kernels, berries and other fruits. Most
birds that commonly visit feeders like sunflower seeds best, and
these also offer complete nutrition. You can supplement these with
cereal grains like oats, buckwheat, millet and wheat. Birds also
welcome legumes, maize and special mixtures with dried insects.
We always recommend mixing larger seeds into a loose mixture. If
you only use small seeds, such as millet, the seeds may fall out of
the feeder. Loose mixtures of seeds, nuts and berries will be
especially appreciated by titmice, sparrows, chaffinches and
greenfinches. Any food that falls onto the ground will be a feast for
blackbirds and chaffinches, which do not usually visit feeders
otherwise.
A feeder with a fat ball reservoir is an ideal solution if you cannot
top up the feeder every day. The nets must always be removed
from the balls! We recommend using fat balls that do not contain
palm oil. You can treat titmice, woodpeckers and nuthatches with fat
balls.
Assembly, installation
Feeder for fat balls:
1) Insert the cord through the hole in the roof and tie it off.
2) Place the fat balls without their nets into the reservoir.
3) Attach the roof and turn it until the catchs click into the grooves.
4) Install your feeder by hanging it using the cord.
Feeder for loose mixtures:
1) Insert the cord through the hole in the roof and tie it off.
*2) Snap the plugs and perches into the reservoir in the following
order: top row plugs, second row perches, third row plugs, bottom
row perches. This order must be used to ensure the necessary
spacing between the perches so that birds can comfortably fit on the
feeder.
3) Pour in your mixture.
4) Attach the roof and turn it until the catchs click into the grooves.
5) Install your feeder by hanging it using the cord.
Birdbath:
1) If you want to hang the birdbath, insert the cord through the hole
in the reservoir and tie it off.
2) Fill the reservoir with water.
3) Attach the roof/bowl and turn it until the catches click into the
grooves.
4) Install the birdbath by either hanging it using the included cord or
by attaching it to a wooden pole. If you install the birdbath on a
wooden pole (handle) with ø less than 2.8 cm, secure it by inserting
a pin into the handle (you will need to drill a hole for the pin).
