Automatic Foot Feeding Tool Outdoor Bird Feeder

Automatic Hanging Bird Feeder with Gravity Seed Dispenser

This automatic hanging bird feeder uses gravity to keep the feeding tray supplied as birds eat. The transparent seed hopper makes it easy to monitor the remaining food, while the hexagonal feeding platform allows compatible garden birds to approach from several sides.

Made from lightweight plastic, the feeder has a sloped roof that helps shelter the feeding area from direct sunlight and light rain. Its compact hanging design suits gardens, balconies, patios and other outdoor spaces where you want to provide seed without using an open feeding bowl.

How the Gravity Feed Works

Seed is stored inside the central hopper and moves down into the surrounding tray as birds remove food. This keeps seed available without timers, batteries or electronic components.

The feeder holds approximately 2.6lb, or around 1.2kg, of suitable birdseed. Its clear body allows you to see when supplies are running low, while the twist-lock lid provides access for refilling and cleaning.

How to Set Up

Hang the feeder from a secure branch, hook or outdoor support where it remains stable and is easy to access for refilling.

• Open the twist-lock lid

• Fill the hopper with clean, dry birdseed

• Secure the lid before hanging

• Position the feeder away from areas accessible to cats

• Choose a location with nearby shrubs or trees where birds can retreat

• Check the seed regularly for moisture or contamination

• Remove old food before adding a fresh supply

• Clean and dry the feeder regularly

The feeder works best with free-flowing dry foods such as millet, mixed birdseed, grains, small sunflower seeds or suitable nut pieces. Avoid overfilling the tray manually, as the gravity system will release more seed when space becomes available.

Choosing Suitable Birdseed

The right seed depends on the birds visiting your area. A varied, good-quality seed mix is generally more useful than filling the feeder with one high-fat seed alone.

BirdLife Australia notes that seeds, nuts and grains may suit seed-eating birds such as finches, doves, pigeons and some parrots. It recommends offering high-fat oil seeds such as sunflower sparingly rather than making them the entire feed.

Do not fill the feeder with bread, salty snacks, dairy products or mouldy food. Any seed that becomes damp, clumped or musty should be discarded.

Feeding Birds Responsibly

Outdoor feeding stations can collect droppings, husks and spoiled food, particularly when several birds visit the same location. Regular cleaning is important to reduce contamination and the spread of disease.

• Replace old or wet seed rather than topping it up

• Scrub the feeder and tray regularly

• Allow the feeder to dry before refilling

• Stop feeding if sick birds are observed nearby

• Use feeding as a supplement, not a replacement for natural foraging

• Follow local rules regarding the feeding of wildlife

BirdLife Australia recommends treating supplementary food as an occasional snack and keeping feeding areas clean, as poorly maintained feeders can contribute to disease transmission.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the automatic bird feeder work?

The feeder uses gravity rather than a motor or timer. As birds eat seed from the lower tray, more seed moves down from the central hopper to refill the available space.

Does this bird feeder have a timer?

No. It does not use an electronic timer. The word automatic refers to the gravity-feed system, which releases seed into the tray as it is eaten.

How much birdseed does it hold?

The hopper holds approximately 2.6lb, which is around 1.2kg of seed. The actual amount may vary slightly depending on the size and density of the seed mix.

What type of birdseed can I use?

You can use suitable dry birdseed mixes, millet, grains, small sunflower seeds and appropriately sized nut pieces. Choose food suited to the birds that commonly visit your area.

Is the feeder weatherproof?

The plastic construction and sloping roof help shelter the seed from direct sunlight and light rain. Positioning it beneath some overhead cover will provide better protection during heavy or wind-driven rain.

Which birds can use this feeder?

It is best suited to compatible small and medium seed-eating garden birds that can comfortably perch around the tray. The birds attracted will depend on your location and the type of seed offered.

How do I know when it needs refilling?

The transparent hopper allows you to see the seed level without opening the feeder. Refill it before the tray and hopper become completely empty.

How should I clean the bird feeder?

Empty all remaining seed, detach the accessible parts and wash them with warm water and a suitable cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and allow every section to dry before adding fresh seed.

Where should I hang the feeder?

Hang it from a stable branch or hook in a visible but sheltered location. Keep it out of reach of cats and place it near trees or shrubs that provide birds with a safe escape route.

What colours are available?

The feeder is available in:

• Blue
