Ferris wheel bird feeder for small birds
The small bird Ferris wheel might just be the most fun bird feeder out there!
The little birds fly happily from one bucket to the next and then sit undisturbed as the Ferris wheel spins one way and then the other – sometimes several turns in the same direction!
It also seems to be safe for large birds like jays and magpies.
The Ferris wheel comes in a kit with a manual on how to assemble it. (see english translation of the manual last in this text)
The the yellow plastic buckets holds around 1,5dl seeds and have drainage holes. If you want a roof over as protection for rain and snow, you can build one yourself or mount the wheel under an existing one. See picture as an example.
The jumpers for the buckets can usually be replaced with steel wire or similar if they break, but we also have spare parts available.
Made in Sweden. The metal pieces are made in Lesjöfors and the plastic parts are made in Mora.
Feel free to fill the buckets with one of our organic seed mixes and enjoy!
For international shipping, please put the ferris wheel in the basket and checkout. If your country does not appear in the list please contact us at info@slattergubben.se
A manual for mounting follows in Swedish.
Here is the translation for each picture/text.
1. Mount the white plastic endstops/knobs on the end of each arm
2. Push towards something stable as a table. To make sure they are firmly attached.
3. Mount the bolts in one of the hub-halfs.
4. Put this hub half with the bolts facing down on a table with a distance under (a cup for example). Place one arm in each hole.
5. Place the other hub-half over and screw them together until both hubhalfs is squeezed together and the arms sits firmly in the tracks.
6. Screw the console where you want to have the ferris wheel. Beside the window for example.
7. Fit the hub on the axel and pus the end stop.
8. Mount the brackets on the buckets.
9. Now fit the buckets on the knobs, make sure you push the bracket firmly over the track in the knob so they stays firm.
