Consistently Cleaning Your Bird Feeder Is The Secret To Keeping Your Garden A Healthy Haven For Feathered Friends: Here’s How

You can begin by disassembling the feeder as much as possible to clean each component properly. It’s best to use hot water and mild dish detergent to clean the parts, and avoid using soap with strong scents or dyes that could deter the birds.

A small bottle brush or a toothbrush may come in handy, too, for cleaning the feeling ports and other small areas.

For more thorough sanitation, you can also rinse the feeder with a solution of one part vinegar and four parts water.

Lastly, after finishing it well with clean water, let all the parts air dry completely before reassembling and refilling with fresh nectar.
