ABSTRACT:
A bird feeder has a vertical feed container with a top, an open bottom, and a continuous sidewall. A feed tray is positioned below the open bottom in spaced relation thereto and extends outwardly from the sidewall. The feed tray has an open top and an open perimeter edge. A perch is mounted on the tray and is located below the upper perimeter edge. A transparent hood element is mounted on and extends around the feed container. It has a lower edge which is positioned below the upper perimeter edge of the tray and above the perch. This permits the perch to dwell below the hood in the clear visibility of the birds which will attract the birds to fly within the hood, locate themselves on the perch, and feed themselves from the tray. The perch has a diameter less than the lower diameter of the hood to provide a space between the outer perimeter of the perch and the outer perimeter of the lower edge of the hood for the birds to move through to land on the perch.
