Instructions
Step 1
Remove the hanger from the feeder, and then spray-paint the feeder in a color of your choice; let dry.
Step 2
Plug the adapter into the male end of the extension cord, and thread the cord through the small end of the feeder. (You may need to carefully trim away the plastic side flanges of the extension cord's male plug housing with a wire cutter for the cord to fit through the small opening of the feeder.)
Good to Know
Extension cords are designed for temporary use. For a more permanent installation, add a male plug and lightbulb socket to a length of lamp cord running through the feeder.
