ABSTRACT:
A bird feeder having an apertured floor member which is slidably and selectively removable for easy cleaning. A bird feeder bin is defined by a set of walls, a floor and a roof. When a hinged portion of the roof is opened, at least one section of the walls is slidably removable, and the apertured floor member is also slidably removable. The apertured floor member, which consists of a perforated or expanded steel sheet, provides a combination of sheet material with a pattern of holes which is strong enough to support the weight of the feed, permits drainage to keep the feed dry, and is rugged for scraping and cleaning.
