ABSTRACT:
A bird feeder comprises: a food holder and shroud which is biased in an open position by a spring. When an animal such as a squirrel not intended to feed from the bird feeder lands on the shroud or a roof portion of the shroud, the weight of the animal causes the shroud to descend against the biasing action of the spring. The shroud closes the food holder thereby preventing he animal from gaining access to the food.
