ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a bird feeder which is combined with a container for the bird food. The birdfeed container makes use of a spout, such as may be employed with the common salt dispenser, the spout being mounted for insertion and removal of the "bottom" of the bird food container. The container may take the form of a closed container, such as normally found in the familiar salt dispenser. The bird feeder has a basin which is disposed vertically below the spout. The basin is connected to the bird food container. Flow of bird food from the spout to the basin is stopped automatically by the bird food when the bird food reaches a selected level. A perch in the form of a dowel or stick is passed through holes in the wings of the spout to provide a perch for the feeding bird.
