ABSTRACT:
A birdfeeder mounted on either side of a conventional mailbox. The birdfeeder comprises two separate equal halves including feed hoppers disposed on opposite sides of a mailbox. Below each hopper is a feeding tray and a perch for the birds to feed. The placement of the feeder sections on either side of the mailbox allows normal usage of the mailbox for delivery and collection of the mail. One method of affixing the sections includes using tongues on the rear of the hoppers that slip into brackets on the mailbox sides to attach the separate sections to the mailbox sides. Another method includes the use of a strap that allows the birdfeeder to hang over the mailbox.
