Helpful Hints for Your New Defender
#1. Hang your Defender Feeder anywhere with this in mind, keep the edge of protective shield a minimum 12” from any vertical surface (wall/tree trunk/pole/etc.) so Squirrels are not able to just lean over to feeder plate.
#2. Birds will peck & pull seeds from the Defender’s feeder holes, you really do not want seed to just flow out of bird feeder holes, this is just wasting expensive bird food. Our opinion at Defender Bird Feeder, many feeders are designed with large feeding holes, so customers will buy more & more bird food - believing it is being eaten by birds.
#3. Keep protective shield clean of sap and/or anything a squirrel can hold on to.
#4. Imitation or Real foliage should also be to where - squirrels cannot be able hang below the protective dome. Squirrels back feet cannot be able to hold onto anything after the top planters edge.
#5. Try not to use whole peanuts or large corn seeds. Other seeds can be backed up in seed container.
#6. Our experience has shown that birds can take up to 3 - 10 days to negotiate with the Defender’s protective shield, not to worry birds figure it out fast.
#7. Attach your Defender’s hanger to your *branch/hook/hanger pole/shepherds hook and with extra securing at the attach point *, the Defender will handle severe winds up to 70mph. This will secure it in place from-> raccoons/possum/dear/etc.
