ABSTRACT:
An automatic and timed birdfeeder includes a storage container (20) and valve (22) to dispense stored feed. Dispensing of feed occurs at variable sequences controlled by timer (30). As valve (22) is activated, stored feed flows through dispensing port (26) onto receptacle platform (28) for access by feeding birds. Receptacle platform (28) supports frame (35) by use of spaced supports posts (34). Frame (35) supports container (20) and battery (32). Valve (22) is attached to container (20). Vital exposed components are fabricated of metal to resist damage by vandalous animals. An associated feed filling access cover (21 ) is supported above container (20), in turn accessed by hinge action of protective body (36). Located in one end of body (36) is control panel (38) which houses programming switch (56), amount switch (58), mode switch (60), main switch (62). Sensor (53) is located above control panel (38), and enables operation during daylight hours only if selected by mode switch (60). Adjustable baffles (29) allow custom feed blending to be provided by the feeder without prior mixing.
