Why use the Robin bird-feeding set?
Use the Robin bird-feeding set during the winter.
Two reservoirs
designed for different food types mean you can fill the feeder with
both
loose food
and
fat balls
. This variability means there will be a
lot of activity around the feeder all winter, while you will also be
helping birds survive this harsh season.
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 catches 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 catches click into the grooves.
5)
Install your feeder by hanging it using the cord.
Placement
It is best to place the
feeder
in a quiet place out of the wind, ideally
2-3 m from bushes and denser vegetation and approximately 1.5 m
above the ground to make it less accessible to cats or other
predators.
Set care maintenance and cleaning
Clean the set regularly, including around it, to prevent the possible
transmission of infectious diseases. Remove any peeled seeds and
husks, droppings and uneaten food. There is no need to feed birds
in the summer as nature provides enough food for them.
Avian trichomoniasis, also called
feeder disease
, is a parasitic
disease. Trichomoniasis is caused by a poultry parasite
(Trichomonas gallinae). It is transmitted by direct contact, which can
occur at feeders. If you see visibly ill (lethargic, abnormal skin
formations or obviously damp feathers around the eyes and beak)
or even dead birds on or around the feeder, stop feeding
immediately, disinfect the feeder, and allow it to dry properly. Start
feeding again after 14 days at the earliest.
