ABSTRACT:
A multistation bird feeder support is disclosed which may be inventoried and shipped in a disassembled, compact condition, and easily assembled by the user. The feeder provides a two-piece center pole adapted to be mounted at its lower end in the ground. The upper end of the center pole is provided with four longitudinally extending slots sized to receive flattened portions of two interfitting support beams and to maintain the support beams perpendicular to the center pole. A bird feeder or the like can be mounted on each end of each beam. A lock member is positioned in the upper end of the pole above the cross beams, and a bolt is threaded through the lock member into engagement with the upper surfaces of the beams to hold them in a perpendicular position and assist the beams in supporting end loads. A cap is mounted on the upper end of the center pole and provides a skirt extending around the lock member to prevent it from spreading the upper end of the pole. A squirrel guard is adjustably positioned along the length of the center pole by an elastic O-ring which can be rolled along the length of the pole to any desired location for the squirrel guard.
