How can I get the feed to keep going down into the cups? The birds peck it out, but it never goes back into the feeder cup. I have to go out and use a wire hook i made up to get it back in the cups so the birds can reach it again. It is a 4 port, about 18 inches tall, the cups are closer to the bottom, so yo'd think the weight would push the seed down into the cups. Very frustrating. It is a plastic tube maybe 1.5 inches wide, and I use black oil sunflower seed (not the shelled kind)
Yeah, get seed mix, not 100% sunflowers. And my cousin did this. It has a hole for the seeds to come out, not a little slit, right? The feeders with the slits are for thistle seed, not normal seeds.
Get bird feed with smaller seeds.
the seed's your using is to ' light' you need to use a mix with all the other seeds for weight. Then it will work, but it from a feed a seed store by the 50lb is best for all winter. ask at a supper store.
