Ok been a bit since I posted an update about our rat problem in Boulder. We installed the feeder probably a month ago and it has taken the birds this long to figure our how to use it. It doesn't help that we are not there full-time to teach them how to use. We also had the board or platform fall of the level mechanism that opens the feeder. That didn't stop Mamacita on learning how to master the device. Houston we have lift off, finally now we can let that flock be an auto-pilot....makes a big difference. Fill the feeder and waterer once a week or so....
My understanding is that most birds get how to use feeder within a couple days or up to a couple weeks. That is being propped open and then eventually taking the propped open out and letting them feed while you stand on the board a couple times a day. After a bit the more assertive birds figure it out and then everyone learns.
