How do I stop birdseed falling between balcony floorboards?

Our answer

Install a shallow catch tray or fine mesh beneath the feeder, positioned to avoid attracting pests or dropping seed on neighbours.

Why this approach makes sense

Check the animal’s actual habit and offer a suitable alternative gradually. Size, access, texture and placement can matter as much as the product.

Before you try it

Watch for signs of stress or discomfort and adjust the setup to the individual animal.
