ABSTRACT:
A bird feeder has a bird food storage container, an upper feeding station platform, and a feeder base assembly located below and spaced apart from the container and the platform. The base assembly is attached to the container by an elongated bolt and threaded nut attachment, so it is thus easily separated from the container for ease of cleaning and food replenishment. The base assembly is made up of a feeder tray which catches and collects fallen food from the container, and a tray holder. The feeder tray, removeably mounted within the tray holder, has a perforated bottom with holes sized for water drainage, but which are sized small enough to retain bird food on the tray. The feeder tray also has a circumscribing upper rim which allows for easy removal and replacement of the tray from and into the tray holder. The tray holder has a circumscribing upper perch rim, spaced apart from the rim of the feeder tray when the tray is positioned within the holder. The perch rim provides support for larger birds while they are eating from the feeder tray.
