ABSTRACT:
A bird feeder apparatus includes a plurality of side-by-side cylindrical containers having longitudinal slots in the top walls thereof. The slots are wide enough to permit a bird's beak to pass therethrough for access to bird seed in the containers, but the slots are too narrow to permit a squirrel's mouth to pass therethrough to reach the seed. An associated seed filling assembly is supported above the top of the cylindrical containers and includes a feedbox for seed with a slotted bottom which rests on a portion of troughs which extend from the slots in the cylindrical containers. Movement of the slidable feed plate permits the seed in the feedbox to be fed to the cylindrical containers. A weight is provided on top of the seed in the feedbox to assist the gravity feed of seed through the slotted bottom. The weight is mounted on guide posts within the feedbox for vertical, sliding movement thereon.
