- Verify Stability: Gently tug on the feeder to confirm it is stable and will not fall off. A properly installed feeder will remain fixed even with bird activity.
Operating Instructions
- Refilling the Feeder: The Ferplast BRAVA 1 features a rotating design for easy refilling.
- From the outside of the cage, gently rotate the feeder's internal compartment outwards. This action will expose the opening for adding birdseed.
- Pour the desired amount of birdseed into the compartment. Avoid overfilling to prevent spillage.
- Once filled, gently rotate the compartment back into its original position, ensuring it is securely closed and accessible to your bird from inside the cage.

- Monitoring Food Levels: The transparent design of the feeder allows you to easily monitor the food level without opening the cage. Refill as needed to ensure a continuous supply of food for your bird.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning of the feeder is essential for your bird's health and hygiene.
- Daily Check: Remove any empty husks or debris from the feeder daily.
- Weekly Cleaning: At least once a week, remove the feeder from the cage. Disassemble any removable parts if applicable (for this model, the rotating compartment can be fully removed for thorough cleaning).
- Washing: Wash all parts with warm water and a mild, bird-safe detergent. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
- Drying: Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling and refilling with fresh birdseed. Ensure no moisture remains to prevent mold growth.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Feeder is not stable on the cage. | Improper attachment or locking mechanism not engaged. | Ensure the feeder's locking tab is fully engaged with the cage bars. Adjust position if necessary to achieve a secure fit. |
| Difficulty rotating the feeder compartment. | Accumulation of seed debris or dirt. | Remove the feeder and clean thoroughly, paying attention to the rotating mechanism. Ensure it is dry before reassembly. |
| Bird is not eating from the feeder. | New feeder, unfamiliarity, or food quality. | Give your bird time to adjust to the new feeder. Ensure fresh, high-quality birdseed is used. You may initially place some seed near the feeder opening to encourage use. |
