ABSTRACT:
A birdfeeder and method for deterring animals includes a pair of bird perches having an electric potential therebetween, the perches being vertically separated and positioned on a container for food so that an animal such as a squirrel attempting to feed from the birdfeeder will likely contact the two electrified perches and receive a mild shock, whereas robin-sized birds or smaller feeding at the bird feeder are too small to simultaneously contact the two perches and do not receive an electric shock.
