Clean Dishes Keep Birds Healthy
- Wash seed feeders often - once a month if weather is dry and more if it's wet and warm. Sterilize with a 10% bleach solution. Rinse thoroughly. Dry completely. Many higher quality feeders are easy to clean and often dishwasher safe.
-
Keep the area underneath feeders clear of shells and dropped seed. Use digestive enzymes for a faster break-down of buildup.
-
Throw out any moldy or old feed. Use current year's crop. Start out with the freshest seed available.
Eeeeewwww!
