I had to use a wrench to get it open the first time...don't use the ring to try to twist it off! I bent mine pretty badly!

Grab the button on top and twist to the left. Righty tightey, lefty lucie. Mine was pretty tight when I first got it.

The top with the ring is actually screwed into the base. Unscrew the very top knob, the top cover then can be removed from the center post

the top knob with the attached wire hanger screws off and then turn and lift off the remaining metal cover for filling.

Hi Misha. We got this feeder a few months ago. The thimble-sized top, with the ring in it, is actually a bolt that holds the cap onto the top of the feeder. So grab that top knob and unscrew it. Then you can pull the cap off and fill the feeder.

I was confused, too, Misha. I finally realized that the small cylinder at the top that has the ring in it unscrews. It was attached tightly but, with a little effort, it will turn. That cylinder detaches completely and the top can then just be lifted off. I hope you haven't thrown the feeder in front a train like I felt like doing at first. By the way, finches love it. When it is full, they cover the outside of it.

Can't help you other than to suggest you call Amazon's Customer Service. They should be able to send you the directions.

It goes in the bottom of the big bowl, under the first dome. You'll have better luck looking at the diagrams included, than reading any directions. It's not too hard to figure out. Just take your time.

There is a hook on both the top and the bottom. You attach the top hook to the place where you used to hang the feeder, then hang the feeder on the bottom hook. It lowers the feeder by about 3 inches. Works like a charm!

The feeder should be screwed onto the pole mount.Make sure the screws are tight.You have to really smash the poles together, hard.I had my 14 year old son do it.You may borrow him if you want!

I don't have the manual with me, as this was a gift for my mother, but while reading how to change the tension, I remember something about ordering separate parts. If you don't still have your manual, I would check out their website for this feeder http://bromebirdcare.com/products/plus/ There is contact info on the bottom right of the site. Here's the parts page so that you know, specifically, what to ask about: http://bromebirdcare.com/wp-content/uploads/1024-Exploded-view-Complete-Color.pdf

I didn't find instructions included in my bird bath either. I winged it by looking at the picture on the box and on the Amazon pic's and was able to figure it out.

The feeder is attached to cage with 2 hooks (included) and after that just swings down against the cage. The one pictured is set up like mine with door raised up and resting on top of feeder. Comes off and reattaches real easily. And all it takes to fill is to set it on backside, pour in feed and then sit upright.

Hello Montana - All you have to do is twist the top off to refill the feeder. BTW, this is the ONLY squirrel proof feeder I have owned that is truly squirrel proof - I have had it for at least 4 months and the squirrels can not get the seed out of it.

There is nothing in the instructions that you have to, I just used a unopened food package based on the listed weight, but it kept giving me error messages.

Google up directions. All over the place. Mine came with directions so not sure what happened to your order.

Since both the feeder and the pole are made by the same company(Homestead). I would phone them. Their number is: 920-386-4880.

Woodlink sells a tray accessory that is attached with small nuts, and bolts. There are two holes in the bottom bracket of the feeder that will allow for this to be done- if you look closely under the bottom feed port on the feeder you can just make out where the small bolt would attach the tray accessory item# WLTUBETRAY

Mine didn't have instructions either. I just broke two eggs into the poacher dish. I used the "medium" water level and they came out very well.

A feeder like the previous poster mentioned. They also come in metal. Buy the plastic jar mentioned on that page and fill it with food. It screws into the base. Same with the water (with the base for water). With the metal base I was able to use a mason jar- just fyi.

You can adjust it in 2 Ways. The little gray door is adjustable so you can open it a little or all the way. The feeder works by spinning and dropping food when the door is pointed down. The second way is to program the number of spins, up to 3. I'd say the it will drop about a tablespoon per turn with the door all the way open.
