Domestic cats are a serious threat to our wild bird populations killing millions annually.
Feeders and bird baths should be placed at least 15 feet from hiding places. Sometimes squirrels can be a real problem and damage bird feeders. We can replace a birdfeeder part at cost if this happens. If you have a continued problem with squirrels, we highly recommend that you purchase our Squirrel Baffle. If you have a problem with sugar ants getting to your hummingbird feeder, we recommend our Anti-Ant.
