ABSTRACT:
A bird feeder that prevents animals such as squirrels, chipmunks, and rodents from gaining access to feed in the bird feeder. The bird feeder protects the feed from wind, rain, and snow. The bird feeder includes a housing that is rotatably attached to a support shaft allowing at least 360 degrees of rotation. The housing includes a plurality of angled plates that cause the housing to spin when the animal contacts one of the plates. A feed tray is rigidly attached to the support shaft and remains upright and stationary within the housing while the housing rotates about the support shaft. A bird can fly through an opening directly to the feed tray. Transparent sides of the housing allows a person to watch the bird.
