Frequently Asked Questions

A: This hanging bird feeder is designed specifically for fat balls (also known as suet balls). The ball-shaped metal grille cage accommodates standard fat balls with a diameter of up to 7 cm (2.8 inches), making it perfect for attracting a wide variety of garden birds including tits, sparrows, and finches.
Q: How do I refill the bird feeder?
A: Refilling is quick and easy. The round lid opens smoothly, allowing you to drop in a fresh fat ball. A small loop latch on the opening holds the lid securely closed during use, preventing birds from accidentally opening it. Simply unclip the loop, open the lid, add a fat ball, and latch it back in place.

A: The feeder comes with a 24 cm (9.4 inch) hanging chain, making it ready to suspend from a tree branch, garden hook, feeding station pole, pergola, or any suitable outdoor fixture. No assembly is required — just load it with a fat ball and hang it up.
Q: Is this bird feeder truly squirrel proof?
A: The feeder's sturdy metal grille cage is designed to deter squirrels from accessing the fat balls, while still allowing smaller wild birds to feed comfortably through the gaps. The secure locking lid also prevents squirrels from opening the feeder to remove the ball.
