ABSTRACT:
A bird feeder for retaining compressed suet-seed cakes is provided having a construction permitting easier refill of the feeder as well as making it more difficult for squirrels and other animals from raiding the feeder. Two embodiments of the feeder are disclosed including a hinged side door which is kept closed under tension equal to the weight of the suspended feeder and one having foldable perches which conserves packing material and space.
