Droll Yankees

Q: Mom sent me her feeder to charge it but I don't think she sent everything necessary. What do these parts look like.

This model has no charging mechanism, nor is it battery powered. Droll Yankee does sell a battery-powered feeder but this is not it, not the one I recently bought.

Q: How can I keep it from dropping so much seed?

I dont think it is dropping the seed without some assistance like the little finches. I experience that they do drop quite a few unopened seed. In my feeder I only use the black sunflower seeds.

Q: Do the ports allow a half a peanut (no shell) to pass through?

Pass through or get pulled through by the birds, I am not sure but the peanuts do disappear.

Q: Can it be pole mounted?

Ours hangs from a pole that extends out about a foot, makes it more difficult for the squirrel to get to the feeder, and they will try, but it is the best feeder we own. I’m thinking of buying another. You can’t really pole mount it, because the bottom tray drops down when a squirrel puts pressure on it.
