Ideal For
Perfect for yards with moderate squirrel activity where traditional feeders are raided frequently. Excellent for bird enthusiasts who want both functionality and aesthetic appeal in their bird feeding equipment. Ideal for mixed seed blends including sunflower seeds, safflower, and nyjer that attract diverse songbird species. Great for smaller yards where a compact feeder is preferred. Suitable for gardeners who want bird feeding equipment that complements rather than detracts from landscaping design.
Feeding Instructions
Fill with quality mixed bird seed, black oil sunflower seeds, or safflower seeds for best results. Remove the top lid by lifting or unscrewing (depending on model). Pour seed into the reservoir until filled to desired level (1-pound capacity maximum). Replace lid securely. Hang from sturdy tree branch, pole, or bracket at least 5 feet above ground and 10 feet from launching points like fences or railings.
Monitor seed levels and refill when seed falls below feeding ports. Clean feeder every 2-3 weeks by emptying remaining seed, washing with hot soapy water, rinsing thoroughly, and allowing to dry completely before refilling. In wet weather, check drainage holes are clear and seed remains dry. If seed clumps or shows signs of mold, discard immediately and clean feeder thoroughly before refilling with fresh seed.

Why We Love It
The Grand Palace represents the perfect marriage of form and function in bird feeding equipment. While many squirrel-resistant feeders sacrifice aesthetics for functionality, this feeder proves you don't have to choose. The bronze palace design adds garden elegance while the weight-activated mechanism effectively deters squirrels, making it both a conversation piece and a practical feeding solution for your songbirds.
Care & Maintenance
Clean feeder every 2-3 weeks or whenever seed becomes wet or clumpy. Empty all remaining seed. Remove top lid and disassemble any removable parts. Wash all components with hot soapy water using a bottle brush to reach feeding ports and internal areas. Scrub away any stuck seed, mold, or bird droppings. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residue. Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling and refilling. Check drainage holes monthly and clear any blockages with a small wire or pipe cleaner. Inspect weight-activated mechanism annually to ensure proper function and adjust if needed. Store indoors during extreme weather if desired to maintain bronze finish appearance.
