It's been almost 4 months since the feeder was out and the pigeons were all over it for the last two days. Unfortunately only pigeons so far. Sometimes a couple of jackdaws will come watch them mess with the feeder, but haven't interacted with it yet. I should still have some good clips to share - I just need to go through them.
I did have a couple of problems on the first day.
- The motor wires got tangled in the motor. Luckily no damage was done and untangling (and better placement of) the wires fixed it.
I really need to tape them into place next time I refil. - Dispensing took too long, like 5+ seconds most of the time. I had really pressed down all the fittings when reassebling this and forgot to give the vibration platform a little play. There is still room for improvement, but after some adjustment most dispenses take <3 sec.
I think I will work on a slightly better version of the dispenser now. I can do that while the thing is up - it's not that bad at the moment.
