The dumpling station is easy to fill with 3 dumplings. The birds took a few days until they got used to the station and they have accepted. Below the station has a circumferential ring. Probably be able to stand up to the station. However, the birds had the idea (which had come to me also) that they could still sit on the ring, but mostly they piteously down sliding of the ring for too thin rod and then hung down. Meanwhile, the birds have learned to deal with the station :-) The only drawback: Actually, the 2 ordered dumplings stations should ensure that only every 2-3 days dumplings need to be refilled. Instead, come more and more birds, so that now a total of 9 rich dumplings more than 24 hours ;-)
