The invention relates to bird feeders, and particularly feeders designed for relatively small birds, such as finches, chickadees, etc.
The instant invention relates to bird feeders of the general type having an elongated, transparent, vertically disposed cylindrical housing preferably constructed of a suitable plastic material, and having adjustable feed ports at the lower extremity thereof, with a peripheral skirt or tray member located beneath the feed ports for collecting seed that spills outwardly through the ports and at the same time for supporting the type of small birds for which this feeder is designed. Feeders of this general type are known in the prior art, but assembly and disassembly of such feeders during cleaning and/or repair frequently is a problem. It is therefore an object of my invention to provide such a feeder wherein the component parts can easily and quickly be assembled and disassembled, such assembly and disassembly requiring no special tools other than an ordinary screwdriver or the like. In fact, assembly and disassembly of the bird feeder of the present invention, not including the top cap or cover thereof, is achieved by manipulating a single screw member, which is easily and conveniently accessible.
