Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the bird feeder, especially the seed tray, water tray, and camera lens, to prevent mold and bacterial growth. Disassemble the base by pressing the release button and pulling outward for thorough cleaning.

• Camera not powering on/charging: Verify the USB-C cable is properly connected for charging. Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight for several hours.
• No bird detections/notifications: Check the motion detection sensitivity settings in the app. Ensure the camera angle is adjusted correctly to cover the perch area.
• Squirrels accessing the feeder: The feeder includes features to deter squirrels. Ensure these are properly installed. Consider relocating the feeder to a more open area if squirrels remain an issue.
