ABSTRACT:
A bird feeder of tube shape has all components critical to providing delivery of seed to wild birds of metal construction. The bird feeder comprises a metal cylinder oriented vertically and suspended from a nearly circular metal hoop, the free ends of which attach near the top rim of the cylinder. The underside of the cylinder is plugged with a metal disc and the top of the cylinder is protected with a removable metal cover. A plurality of smaller metal cylinders oriented horizontally intersect the vertically oriented cylinder on its center line in a staggered vertically spaced relation, the intersecting points being round apertures equal to the outside diameter of the horizontal cylinders. These vertical and horizontal cylinders, being metal, are joined by a series of welds. The cylinders oriented horizontally are of such a length that their ends protrude conspicuously from the outside wall of the vertical cylinder, and are of such design that their ends are cut on an angle with the cut-away portions being on the underside of the tubes and extending well into the interior of the vertically aligned cylinder. The plurality of openings created by the intersections of the horizontal and vertical cylinders provides wild birds access to seed stored in the vertical cylinder.
