ABSTRACT:
A squirrel proof bird feeder having bird feeder holes of a construction to minimize loss of seed by scattering or wind blowing. The bird feeder has a removable conical top of an inverted hip roof construction with the major portion of the upper region of the top having a steep pitch with the lower eaves or border having a gentle pitch which construction tends to dump a squirrel climbing upon the roof from a suspended chain. The bird feeder housing has feeder holes which communicate with the interior through horizontal feeder tubes which are open on the bottom and closed by a baffle at the inner end which while permitting a flow of seed under the end portion of the feeder tube and under the bottom sides restricts the flow when the bird feeder is blown by the wind or otherwise disturbed by feeding birds or squirrels climbing on the top of the feeder.
