I have switched from wood to plastic so when it occurs I can clean it easier, but I wish I could stop it altogether. Thank-you in advance.

      when water from rain gets on uneaten birdseed.it will create mold as it is rotting. Do not put more seed in your feeder than the birds will eat in one day.
