ABSTRACT:
A bird feeder shaped like an inverted cone with wavy sides is disclosed. The bird feeder preferably is formed from a transparent polymer as a thin walled container in the shape of the inverted cone. The upper extremity of the bird feeder has an extended top opening, capped by a removable member, and the lower extremity has a restricted bottom apex. The wavy sides are defined by opposed convoluted profiles having outwardly protrusive shoulder regions and inwardly recessive waist regions, respectively forming an outer ridge line and an inner waist in. Certain shoulder regions below the ridge lines have a number of feed apertures, formed with an upwardly directed slant. Opposed mounting apertures are provided to accomodate a number of perches extending from the container on both sides and in operative relation to the feed apertures. A hanger is provided adjacent the top opening and a hook adjacent the bottom apex. Thereby a number of such containers can be hung on above the other in a row. The hook also can accomodate solid bird feed, such as suet or salt port.
