ABSTRACT:
A wild animal feeder which combines animal feeding with a decorative, fanciful shape and, further, is also animated by activity of the feeding animals, composed generally of a pair of fancifully shaped sidewalls, a feeder component situated between each of the sidewalls, a base, a pair of legs connected with the base, and a pivot structure for providing selected pivoting movement of the sidewalls and feeder component with respect to the legs. The pivot structure cooperates with an actuator which provides pivoting of the feeder component and the sidewalls whenever an animal comes to feed. In this regard, the feeder component includes a feed holder, an access door to the feed holder, a feed dispenser located adjacent the generally forward end of the sidewalls, and a dispensing opening in the feed holder for passing feed from the feed holder to the feed dispenser whenever the feeder component is pivoted. The feed dispenser may be equipped with a dual feed dispensing structure in which fine grained feed falls through one or more apertures and fine or coarse grained feed is dispensed via a trough, thereby serving birds and small land dwelling animals simultaneously.
