ABSTRACT:
A two-section bird-feeder unit mounted vertically on a support pole (portions of which support pole include a fill tube as hereinafter described, a reducing slip coupling as hereinafter described, and an oblong square brace suspending a catch jar as hereinafter described). The upper section of said unit is comprised of a dome having a vertically projecting peripheral edge forming a channel reservoir to hold a supply of drinking water for birds, a seed reservoir within the dome with dispensing openings to a seed hopper below, an open-topped fill tube extending above the dome through the seed reservoir with dispensing openings thereto and terminating below the feed hopper at a reducing slip coupling, said fill tube and seed reservoir being sometimes encompassed within a removable funnel attachable beneath the dome and flaring outwardly and downwardly to permit restriction of feed access to small birds, and, finally, a guide funnel with an open top extending outwardly below the outer limits of the feed hopper and flaring downwardly and inwardly to the reducing slip coupling, thereby directing waste seed and seed shells to said reducing slip coupling for its preservation and ultimate re-use. The lower section of said bird-feeder unit being comprised of an oblong square brace connected to the support pole and suspending a removable catch jar attached to the reducing slip coupling for the purpose of storing waste seed and seed shells until their re-use.
