ABSTRACT:
A birdfeeder according to the invention is designed for repelling predatory animals. The feeder includes a spring-actuated roof which acts as a catapult when an animal alights thereon. The roof is secured by a latch which disengages when spring loaded pistons urge the roof upward and it can be closed and resecured either manually or automatically by motor.
