| Birds are not visiting the feeder. | New feeder, unsuitable location, wrong seed type, predators nearby. | Allow time for birds to discover it. Relocate the feeder. Try different seed types. Ensure feeder is safe from predators. |
| Seed is getting wet or moldy. | Lid not secured, feeder exposed to heavy rain, insufficient drying after cleaning. | Ensure lid is tightly closed. Move feeder to a more sheltered spot. Always dry completely after cleaning. |
