Maintenance
Refilling Birdseed
Regularly check the seed level in your feeder. To refill, simply open the top access point and pour in new birdseed using the provided scoop. The feeder has a capacity of 0.9 liters.
Cleaning
Periodically clean the feeder to ensure a hygienic environment for birds and prevent seed spoilage. Remove any old or wet seed, and gently clean the feeding tray and interior surfaces. The modular design allows for easy disassembly for thorough cleaning.
Solar Charging
The integrated solar roof is designed to keep your camera charged. Ensure the solar panel receives direct sunlight for optimal performance. In periods of prolonged cloudy weather or if the feeder is in a shaded area, occasional manual charging via the USB-C cable may be necessary.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Bird Buddy PRO Solar Smart Bird Feeder, please refer to the following common solutions or consult the official troubleshooting guide.
- Connectivity Issues: Ensure your feeder is within range of a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. If connection is unstable, consider relocating the feeder closer to your router or using a Wi-Fi extender.
- Battery Not Charging: Verify that the solar panel is clean and receiving sufficient direct sunlight. If not, manually charge the camera using the USB-C cable.
- No Bird Detections: Check that the camera lens is clean and unobstructed. Ensure the feeder is placed in an area where birds are likely to visit.
- Squirrel/Pest Interference: While the feeder is designed for birds, other animals may be attracted to the seed. Consider using squirrel-resistant seed or additional deterrents if this becomes a persistent issue.
