ABSTRACT:
A bird feeder comprising an outer enclosure having one or more access ports to the interior of the enclosure and an insert mounted for telescoping movement into the interior of the outer enclosure. The insert is formed with at least one compartment for storing feed with one or more openings into the insert adapted to permit access to the compartment. The insert is dimensioned to define a collection space between the outer enclosure and the insert when the insert is telescoped into the interior of the outer member. The collection space accumulates feed spilled from the compartment by feeding birds to prevent wastage. The insert is movable between a first raised position in which the openings in the insert generally align with the access ports of the outer enclosure to permit feeding by birds, and a second lowered position in which the compartment of the insert is positioned to automatically receive spilled feed from the collection space.
