Living with Birds Bird Feeder Accessories Accessory

The Small Seed Tray and Super Seed Tray fit Ring-Pull™, Ring-Pull™ Click, Ring-Pull™ PRO, flo™, flo™ Festival, flo™ Lifetime and Bird Lovers™ feeders. Each tray comes with a BaseLink™, which screws into the base of any tubular feeder with a ½-inch thread. The trays can also be used with our Garden Pole.

No. Keep the food in the feeder. A seed tray sits under a hanging tubular feeder to catch seed that drops from the ports and to give birds extra room to perch. Don’t use it as an open feeding platform. Open trays, bird tables and food scattered on the ground let disease spread between birds. Tip out and clean the tray every time you clean the feeder. Feed seed from 1 November to 30 April.

Pigeon Spacer™ stops pigeons standing on the seed tray and emptying your feeder. It keeps the food out of big birds’ reach, and it fits and comes off in seconds with no tools. The Birdfeeder Guardian puts a protective cage around a tubular feeder to keep squirrels out. The small Guardian fits small Ring-Pull™, Ring-Pull™ Click and Bird Lovers™ feeders, and the large Guardian fits the medium sizes. The cage lifts off for filling and cleaning.

Rain Away™ fits most tubular feeders with a 2.5-inch diameter, including Ring-Pull™, Ring-Pull™ Click and Bird Lovers™ models. It does not fit flo™ feeders. It slides onto the feeder tube with no tools, helps keep rain out of the feeding ports so the seed stays dry, and gives perching birds some shelter.

Clean feeders, seed trays and perches regularly, ideally once a week. Tip out old food, wash everything with a mild disinfectant, then rinse it well and let it dry before refilling. Regular cleaning helps stop the spread of diseases such as trichomonosis, which affects finches. If you see birds that look unwell, for example fluffed up, lethargic or with food stuck around the beak, stop feeding and remove water for at least two weeks. Clean everything thoroughly before you start again.
