ABSTRACT:
An ornamental bird feeder composed of a plastic foam disk saturated with a melted agar that has one of more surfaces thereof covered with bird seed before the agar is permitted to cool to a gel state to entrap the bird seed. A hanging tab consisting of a length of wire has one end thereof embedded within the plastic disk with the other end serving to support the bird feeder from an overhead structure. Suitable food color may be added to the agar while in the liquid state for aesthetic and bird attracting properties. Conventional muffin pan molds may be employed or the molds may be custom made in the desired shapes by hand forming the mold(s) from aluminum foil.
