This mesmerizing Winter Cardinal solar bird feeder not only attracts feathered friends to your yard for a snack, but also collects sun during the day so it can illuminate at night. Crafted from outdoor-safe acrylic and glass, the eco-friendly statement piece lights from the bottom up to highlight the festive design on the center panel. It holds approximately 2 cups of bird seed and is the perfect addition to your outdoor space! Requires 1 AA battery, which is included. Place the feeder about 10-15 feet from a tree or bush so birds can easily retreat to safety if a predator gets too close. It may take time for birds to discover this new source of sustenance. If after one to two weeks, you have not received any visitors, sprinkle seeds on the ground to help them find the feeder. For a full charge, the solar panel needs to receive direct sunlight for approximately 8 hours. The piece automatically illuminates at night and stays lit for about 6 to 8 hours. Feeders should be placed either very close to windows (less than 3 feet) or much farther away (greater than 10 feet) to prevent collisions.
